You might try changing to the 2nd vc (alt+F2), use 'ls' (without the quotes) 
to find where lsmod, and insmod are and then issue

    /the_path/insmod  8390
    /the_path/insmod  ne

Yet I hope that someone else will confirm this and also points out how the 
parameters like the correct IRQ should be handled.
