Mike,

Send me the output of the following commands:

   dmesg
   lsmod

In the mean time, here's a hint from
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt:

        alias eth0 3c509        # or whatever net adapter you have
        # you might need an "options" line for some net adapters:
        options 3c509 io=0x300 irq=10
