You might want to see it Veit's spciirq can do the job.
The VIA NIC drivers are notoriously bad. The Intel drivers are usually
better. That said, I think you might be able to find an alternative
driver for the VIA. How does pci.exe describe the NIC chips?

Sure.

The terms refer to the internals of the NDIS protocol. Basically the
message means the upper level of the stack could not bind to a NIC driver.
In your case this occured because the NIC driver did not load.

If you review your message archive, you will see I typically ask to see
\config.sys
\startup.cmd (if you have one)
\ibmcom\lantran.log
\ibmcom\protocol.ini
\ibmcom\macs\yournic.nif (yournic is the name of your nic's nif)
\ibmlan\ibmlan.ini (if you have LAN networking installed)
\mptn\bin\setup.cmd
\mptn\etc\dhcpcd.cfg
\mptn\etc\resolv*
Given your additional issues, I'd need to see the output of pci.exe. Run
it twice. Once as pci -S. The second time as pci -P -B -D -R.
