Huh? That is contradicting. Or it is compiled into the kernel OR it is
compiled as a loadable module.
And which kernel? 2.2.14 or 2.4.14?

Probably you need to add a line like this to /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo
afterwards:
append="ether=5,0x240,eth0 ether=9,0x260,eth1"
this line tells that there are 2 ethernetcards with their IRQ en IO port.
But perhaps you want to compile the stuff as modules first and then try to
find out the problem by loading them sperately.

NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
(also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a
*real* 32-bit system.
