First, you need to get a new bucket of oats and shovel to sweep up after
that horse and buggy. Seriously: 5.2 is *amazingly* out of date. Consider
hopping to 7.3 (if you have serious CPU limitations on the machine) or
Fedora (if your machine is reasonably zippy). Don't waste your time trying
to massage these out-of-date kernels and tools into usability unless it
gives you orgasmic joy: your time will be better spent in this millennium's
software.

Is the realtek 8029 really compatible with that module? Can you review the
kernel source code files and see what it says in the ne2k-pci.c file?
