[netdrivers] Re: via-rhine.o: init-module: Device or resource busy

[Irfan Butt]

All,

Actually I have just found something interesting.

In desperation I was hunting around for an alternative network card and
found one in the form of an RTL8139 chipset card.

I inserted the card, booted did an insmod on pci-scan and also an insmod on
my newly compiled rtl8139.o from the scyld.com website.

This gave exactly the same result as the DFE-530TX card:
"init-module: Device or resource busy"

I then did an rmmod on pci-scan and tried an insmod on the version of
rtl8139.o that was shipped with the linux distro.

Voila!  It worked!  Therefore it seems to me that there is some issue or
other with the pci-scanning code in pci-scan.

What do you think?

Hello all, please help.

I have just inserted a new DLink DFE-530TX into a RedHat Linux 6.0 box
running kernel 2.2.5-15
I have downloaded pci-scan and via-rhine from scyld.com and compiled them
successfully.
cat /proc/pci
shows my device as Via Technologies unknown device rev 67
vendor id 1106 device id 3065
irq 11 io 0xdc00

running insmod on the net module after running it on pci-scan (which goes in
ok) yields:
via-rhine.o: init-module: Device or resource busy

I have seen similar problems relating to init_module saying this and I think
I have followed the same suggested paths but it just refuses to work.

Please help, I am running low on ideas (and hair!)
