Here's a little more info:
- I CAN ping my own ip address, but any other 
address just times out
 
- it appears that the BIOS is assigning IRQ 0 to 
the card, and I can't find anyway to change that:
      
"ne2k-pci.c:vpre-1.00e 5/27/99 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker <A 
href="http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html">http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html       
WARNING: The PCI BIOS assigned this PCI NE2k card to IRQ 0, which is unlikely to 
work!.       You should use the PCI BIOS setup 
to assign a valid IRQ line.      ne2k-pci.c: PCI

0.      eth0: RealTek RTL-8029 found at 0x1020, IRQ

- more dmesg snips that may help:

Guess I'm just not understanding why Win98 sees the 
card with IRQ 5 and linux sees it at 0. And I still don't even see the modem or 
audio device.

  Hi,
   
  Starting the archive search now, but thought I'd 
  ask on here in the meantime. 
  I have an HP Pavilion with the SiS5513 PCI bus. 
  Can't install NT on it, and I Hate Win98 (yes, with at capital "H"). But I 
  have some apps for work that HAVE to run on Windows, so I'm keeping it dual 
  boot for the time being til I can test VMWare or something else.
   
  Anyway, there's a NE2000 clone and a 56k 
  plug'n'play modem, and the audio device comes off the PCI bus. I rebuilt the 
  kernel to make sure these devices were enabled, but I can't seem to see the 
  modem or the audio device. The network card shows up, but then fails 
  with:
      SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource 
  Temporarily Unavailable
   
  I've added an append "ether=" line in lilo, but 
  no effect.
   
  Boot up in windows to get the IRQs and IO 
  addresses:
  net card:  5  1020-103F
  modem:   ?  03e8-03ef   
  (doesn't give an IRQ used)
  audio:     
  10 1040-107f
   
  I'm sure there's a simple explanation, but I've 
  been away from installing linux for a while, so it'll probably take me a while 
  to find it.
   
  Any guidance is appreciated,
  Matt
   
  Oh yeah, this is with SuSE Linux 7.0, I believe 
  the kernal is 2.2.16
