Ne2000 old ethernet card set up problem

hi guys , 

I've installed OBSD 4.1 on a 486 DX2 with 16MgRam and
all works fine . 
The problem is that I have an ne2000 old ethernet card
and the Os recognize it , but I can't make it work
....

I tried everything and also change the kernel .
I have no conflicts with the IRQs and also changed the
IRQS and memory directions and nothing happens ....

I've tried  0x240  Irq	9  	--  	0x300  	Irq 10  
and  0x280 Irq 5  and all the possible combinations . 

Also I disable isapnp and other ports like all that
use  0x300 and the others like 0x240 etc etc  . 


My Dhcpd server is Fedora Red Hat and in the logs it
shows me  :

Jul  5 12:21:28 websi dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on
192.168.1.246 to 00:50:4e:03:b6:8a via eth0
Jul  5 12:21:38 websi dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from
00:50:4e:03:b6:8a via eth1
Jul  5 12:21:38 websi dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on
192.168.1.246 to 00:50:4e:03:b6:8a via eth1
Jul  5 12:21:38 websi dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from
00:50:4e:03:b6:8a via eth0
Jul  5 12:21:38 websi dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on
192.168.1.246 to 00:50:4e:03:b6:8a via eth0

the number : 00:50:4e:03:b6:8a is the number of the
ne2000 card that I have Installed with openbsd and the
sistems assign ne1 to the card .

So , linux DHCPD server reiceives the request for an
ip..but my OpenBSD box tell me that NO DHCPOFFERS
RECEIVED ... time out etc etc ....


I have others clients attached , using windows and
linux .

What seems to be the problem ? 

Thanks in advance ,
Regards
