   I've been trying to get the ne2000 driver from the pc386 distribution to
   work on the ACER board.  I know that the ne2000 driver from the i386ex
   bsp works with the ne2000 I have, so I suppose that is the driver I
   should be using....

   However, there are many differences between the two, some are quite
   substantive.  Can someone tell me why the driver was changed so much?
   Perhaps I should be trying to get the pc386 driver working properly
   instead?

I don't see an ne2000 driver in the i386ex BSP in the 19990709
snapshot.  I see an 82596 driver, which uses DMA.  The ne2000 is based
on the 8390, and does not support DMA.  Naturally the two drivers are
very different.  So I think at least one of us doesn't understand
something.
