I don't know how did you ended having three entries of the "natsemi"
modules, maybe you have some program to help managing modules. Anyway,
do you really have two NIC, the "natsemi" and the "ne2k-pci"?
Some modules listed above don't exist on a 2.6.9 kernel, like the
"usb-uhci" and "pci-scan". I didn't asked cause it should be a
dependency of the 2.6.x kernels, but did you have the
"module-init-tools" installed?
Try to reconfigure "hotplug", with something like "dpkg-reconfigure
-plow hotplug", as it should ask about and how enabling your NIC, and
modify your /etc/network/interfaces accordingly...
