I don't know this particular card, but for a PnP card you should compile
the driver as a module, since it won't be configured properly when the
kernel tries to find it.

Try for example:

insmod 8390
insmod ne io=0xyour_io_address_as_defined_in_etc_isapnp_conf

Then you will hopefully get a message about loading driver and such.
Afterwards, you can ifconfig and route to your hearts desire.
