I have a ne2000 compatable NIC card.
I am using RedHat 5.1.

My problem is when i try to load 3c501,IO=0x300 insmod is giving this error

"Loading eth0"
"Device or resources is busy. Delaying initailization"

any solution ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply

As you said the driver for the ne2000 compatiable, i tried to load wd.o,
It showed me a list of unresolved functions.
I fell the driver for the card is 3c501, since it is not showing any unresolved symbols.
      I have seen the card type from windows, the card is
            NE2000 compatiable
            Manufacturer : Novel/Anthem
            Hardware Version : 1.0.01

If 3c510 is not the driver why insmod displays
loading eth0
any idea ??
Thanks

"Device or resources is busy. Delaying initailization"
means invalid port or invalid module

Redhat can't load it.
