just add this to /etc/modules.conf

alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0xNNN 


optionally you can also add the irq option to the "options" line,
for instance:

alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0xNNN irq=NN


This will make what you want


also not that you do not have to reboot your computer (think about this
with WinNT), just execute:

modprobe ne

and

/etc/init.d/network

as root
