Insmod difficulties

[303]

I believe this is my 4th month of having this problem, but I'm starting to understand linux. I have a LinkSys ehternet card that I am attemptong to hook up in a RedHat5 system. Whenever I do a lsmod I get none, then when I do an Insmod tulip I get a device or resource busy error message. I have tried this on another system and got the smae results. What should I do? How do I get the kernel to load the correct driver?

is this redhat 5.0? 6.2 sets it up my lne100tx right off the bat, i like it.
heres the url for linksys linux support maybe this will help, http://www.linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=25

I would imagine you have a resource conflict. Since I have never had this problem, I will just suggest what others have posted here. Turn off PnP in the BIOS and/or switch the card to another slot.

I've read plenty of other posts concerning assigning IRQ's and IO's to a nic. Search around Networking, Tech Support and Hardware for other suggestions.

What is the exact model# of the card?
I have a linksys lne100tx that took me near-forever to get working, but eventually, I got it. I was getting the same error message as you. search for forums for Harvey and Linksys and you should find some threads that I started. Check those out for answers.
Don't give up!

Try modprobe <module-name> , sometimes insmod will fail if the module needs addtional module(s) loaded besides it that's where modprobe comes to play.Hope this helps.
