help please! still unknown interface and SIOCSIFADDR!!!!!



So I checked everywhere (HOWTOs, #Linux, FAQs) and couldn't find out why I can't use my  3C509B NIC even after recompiling the kernel.  So I thought I'd use the NE2000 nic since it is loaded with the kernel by default.  Guess what?  Though it says 8390 loaded during the boot process (but it doesn't appear in dmesg) I  still get:
 
SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device
eth0: unknown interface
 
I have setup my NE2000 to be IRQ=5 and IO=0x300.  Please help!!
 
TIA.
