I've upgraded from 1.2D as it happens, so I'd already changed the old 
hostname.ne0 to ifconfig.ne0. Its contents are as follows:
inet dibbler 0xffffff00
(the computer is called dibbler).
But none of the suggestions above have helped at all, so here's the snip

hostname: dibbler
configuring network interfaces: ne0ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS ne0: Device not configured.

The card does work fine from RiscOS.

Any more advice gratefully received.
