Problem with v 6.1 and ethernet card.

[Phatak, Ajanta \(Credit Technology\)]

Hi all,

I have an ethernet card SMC Ultra Ether EZ 8K, that I use to get connected
to the internet via cable modem and Windows98.

I recently installed Redhat Linux 6.1 on this machine on a separate hard
drive. But, linux doesn't seem to sense this card. At boot time, linux
doesn't seem to recognize the card and gives a 'FAILED' status. We are
providing the io-port and IRQ that we get from Windows 98. It is working on
Windows but not on linux.

I used linuxconf  to set the smc-ultra as the Kernel module and io-port and
irq, for eth0. It adds the appropriate entries in the /etc/conf.modules

insmod - gives 'device or resource busy' message.

What am I not doing right? Please help.

Thanks,
Ajanta.
