I am running Debian 2.2_Rev4, kernel 2.2.19 on a Think Pad T23 with an Intel(R) PRO/100 network card. As far as I can tell from the HOWTO for Ethernet, this requires the eepro100 network module. I have been unable to get the NIC recognized.
Originally, I was using 2.2.19-idepci because that was the only version I could boot off of the CDROM distribution. Unfortunately, the idepci version did not have eepro100 available as a module--though if I am reading the config file created by make menu-config, it does look like it might be compiled directly into the kernel. In any case, I tried recompiling a customized kernel providing eepro100 as a module. It appears to have compiled--at least it shows up in /lib/moduled/2.2.19/. Still no luck. The response I get from 'insmod eeprp100' and 'modprobe eepro100' is: # depmod -a; modprobe eepro100 # eepro100.c: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module paramaters, including invalid IO and IRQ parameters. I know that the card works (at least under WindowsXP). Not sure what to do. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Bryan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
