This line tells me that the file you need to edit is /etc/modutils/aliases

You need to add the lines:
----------------------------------------
alias eth0 ne 
alias eth1 ne
alias eth2 ne
options ne io=0x320,0x200,0x280 irq=09,03,15
-----------------------------------------
or 
-----------------------------------------
alias eth0 ne io=0x320 irq=09
alias eth1 ne io=0x200 irq=03      
alias eth2 ne io=0x280 irq=15
-----------------------------------------

It should be one combination or the other.

After you have done so, run the command
	update-modules

Then run your modprobe/ifconfig commands.

Basically, you need to create an identifier for each board for the kernel
to use.  That identifier is the alias for the actual driver (ne) with the
appropriate io/irq specs.
