I have made this patch to drivers/net/ne.c on linux 2.0.18. I don't have a
ne2000 PCI adaptor (Only one on a server I can't reboot :-( ). The change
is simply to remove the dangerous probing from ne_probe() when compiled as
a module and let the module try to probe. If it is PCI, it will try. If it
fails to locate a PCI adaptor (ne2000), then it will print a message.
Anyone cares to try it. All I can say is that my ISA adaptor compiled as a
module still works! If it works, maybe it should be sent to Paul
(maintainer of this module I think). I don't think he has one adaptor like
this anyway.
