kernel config suggestion

I figured out that I need to have CONFIG_NE2000 set to get the ne.c
driver for my NE2000-compatible PCI Ethernet card, but there's no way
to select that driver under any configuration branch except
"Other ISA cards (CONFIG_NET_ISA) [Y/n/?]". If I didn't know I could
get the needed driver that way, I would have expected an opportunity
to select a PCI NE2000 driver under the
"EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers (CONFIG_NET_EISA) [Y/n/?]"
configuration branch.
Yeah, I know that the network types are cringing at the notion of a
PCI NE2000 clone, but when I can buy 'em for $24.57 each, they're sure
tough for a dedicated bottom feeder like me to ignore :-). For what
it's worth, said card is working great in my 200 MHz PPro so far...
