i'm shooting from the hip, but how about reinstalling both to the
current version?

not automatically, although .93 did.
What you need to do is add
ne io=0x340
to the end of /etc/modules. It willthen load the ne.o module you need
for that card on boot.
ONce booted, you can use
insmod ne io=0x340
to do the same thing.
