I am installing Debian 2.2 for the first time (on a dual cpu box) and have run into a problem with my NIC. I have a Linksys LNE100TX, which I understand uses the Tulip module. During setup, I tried to select the Tulip module to install, but I got an error saying that the "device is busy" and something about IRQ and IO (not at home right now). Am I missing somethere here? How can I get this card installed?
I will be compiling a new kernel to add SMP support - when I do, is there anything special I will need to do to make sure the NIC works? I'm a new Linux user, so be gentle... :) Jason
