Bug#220971: installation-reports: Trouble installing with ISA NE2000 network card

So the "ne" module _never_ works (for anybody) if you don't at least
specify "io"?

If this is the case, module_probe() should take the debconf priority
for the ethdetect/module_params question as an argument.  By default,
it can stay "low" as it is now, but if the "ne" module is selected,
this should be higher.
