NE2000-compatible network device

["Fischer, Björn" <B.Fischer@dmt.de>]

Hi,
I am quite a newbie to either Linux (I'm "playing" with Suse Linux for about
half a year) and Debian (first try to install the day before yesterday) so
please be patient with me.

But there's a Proble, that I wasnt able to solve yet: I have a NE2000
compatible ethernet device (ISA). The german Debian GNU/Linux Handbook
(http://www.openoffice.de/linux/buch/) said I would only have to load the
Kernel-Module ne2k, supply it with the correct IO-Port and maybe a correct
IRQ and it should work. But the problem is that modprobe can't find the
module ne2k, only ne2k-pci is there. Does someone of you know an alternative
to ne2k or can tell me where I can find the ne2k module?
Another question: are modules stored in different .debs than the kernel or
are they always packed together?

Many thanx for an answer

Greetings

Björn Fischer
