If you have installed the Debian kernel-image-2.2.20 package, the
ne2k-pci.o driver included. Check /lib/modules/2.2.20/net to see if it
is there. If so, add a line "ne2k-pci" to /etc/modules and it should
be loaded at boot time. 'modprobe ne2k-pci' should also work.
In any case, you should not get a message that the kernel cannot find
the module.
I just checked and the ne2k-pci module is also included in the idepci
and compact installation kernels, so it should work with these also. I
generally only use these kernels to install Debian and replace them
with a kernel-image package after the system is installed (or in a few
cases compile my own, but only if I need additional features). If you
have compiled your own, check the config file to verify that you have
indeed selected this module.
