[eepro100] Newbie: eth1: card reports no resources

[Ryan Hill]

Folks,

Apologies if this has already been covered in depth, I searched the archives
before subscribing and couldn't find a similar problem with this same error.
I recently added a second eepro100 card to my RH 7.2 box to replace a failed
3com card and set it up with kudzu on IRQ 9.  It comes up and works OK,
except for the fact that my syslog is entirely full of the following error
message:

Feb  3 04:02:12 devastator kernel: eth1: card reports no resources.
Feb  3 04:08:48 devastator last message repeated 75 times

The card does not have an IP address associated with it, it exists as a
promiscous interface on the machine for sniffing only.

ifconfig reports:

What stands out to me here is that eth1 is missing a base IO address, I
tried setting it via io_addr in ifconfig, but that didn't work and someone
else in the archives pointed out that you can't do this with PCI cards.

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Ryan
