help with bocalan 2000 plus combo

I have the exact same issue but with Mandrke 8.1
The Bocalan 2000+ are fully NE2000 compatable
but will not load with those drivers ( or even lance or AMDpc ).

I tried Specifying the correct I/O And IRQ settings on those drivers to no avail.

Please Please Help !

more info

I am kinda new to Linux
so any help would be great
I'm running Mandrake 8.1
I got everything working but my Network card ( ISA Bocalan 2000 )

When I run the network wizard ( it doesn't auto detect )
I enter these settings :
I/O : 0x240
IRQ : 3
( taken from my network card's DOS config utility )

Also there is another option under the NE2000 driver called " Bad "
I'm not sure what to put in there

I have tried changeing IRQ's and putting the I/O and IRQ setting from windows
but I still can't get this nic card working.
it sez " Failed " every time

This is my card :
-----------------------------------------
Boca BEN400
Status: Supported, Driver Name: ne (+8390)

Apparently this is a NE2000 clone, using a VIA VT86C916 chip.
-----------------------------------------


ANY help or a point in the right direction would be great
thanx
