Firstly, does lspci confirm that the network "card" is what you think it
is?
Secondly, it's usually easier to use modprobe to load modules, so
modprobe ne
should do what you want in this case...
Thirdly, have you tried using modconf. This is the same interface that
is called during installation, and you can just choose the correct
module out of a list, and it will be probed, and added to the startup if
it works.
