Just in case that you don't solve the problem:

I have the same problems with ne driver and card with RealTek 8019
chipset. The problem was (I think) that for some reasons the driver
and the card can't establish agreement for what irq to use (may be
the card isn't full PnP compliant). Solution to this problem is
to change mode from PnP to jumperless, manualy set port and irq
with setup program that came with network card and use it as isa
device (not isapnp).
