> Second: I'm having problems loading my ne2000 (ISA) card as a module

ditto for myself since i started using new SMP machine sometime around
2.4.0-test8 or so.

the modprobe works the second time (and subsequently) when i run it by
hand after boot scripts finish.

i've tried all kinds of combinations of insmod/modprobe/isapnp etc
with no luck. wouldnt mind tracking this annoyance down.

boot log:

then modprobe by hand:
