2.1.117 network/module problem (bug?)

2.1.117 (and other recent 2.1.1xx kernels) don't seem to be able to handle
multiple modular network cards. At least, I think that's the problem.

I can't get my second network card (an ISA NE2000) to initialise at all.
The first card (an ISA 3c59x) works with no problem at all. However,
trying to insert the ne2000 module seems to have no effect:

[god@oakley /usr/src]# lsmod

nfsd 144724 1 (autoclean)
lockd 27156 1 (autoclean) [nfsd]
sunrpc 49628 1 (autoclean) [nfsd lockd]

It works as expected under 2.1.103. Any ideas?

got to be a better way.
