Network Card.



Hi !
I bought a Network Card. It is called EtherFast LAN Adapter, and in the
bottom of the box is written Micronet. It must be NE2000 Compatible.
However when I installed Linux (Redhat 4.0) It DID NOT recognized it at 
all. It is plug & play card, it has IRQ 11, and i/o 6100h. When I entered
these addresses, it did not accepted it. Then, 'Mi rov yaush' i decided to
play with it and finally, it recognized it as 3c503. (I used Autoprobe
option). Ok so I have "installed" it. But is there is a chance to make it
work as NE2000 ? Does anyone of you, Linux users, has this card ?
Oh, and since I have installed this card I receive strange lines when I
boot my computer. These lines also appear suddenly. Sometimes, I don't
know why I even receive Segmentation Fault. (Since I installed this card)
Any ideas why ?

Here is an example of my boot info:

(got it by dmesg)
