I've wondered - would it be a solution to this particular problem to  
always probe for ne2000 cards, first, so the kernel can reserve those  
ports and keep other stuff from probing them?

This is one of the most annoying hardware misdesigns on earth. I've seen  
it lock other software, not only Linux.
