Accton Cheetah 10/100 problems

[Helge Meinhard]

Hmm... I have had the same message (device or resource busy) when trying
to insmod various flavors of the 0.89 driver (haven't tried 0.90 yet) on
my Digital Celebris GL6200 featuring an on-board 21142. No way to try
a different PCI slot :-( Also, the interface looks just fine in /proc/pci:

  Bus  0, device   3, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: DEC DC21142 (rev 17).
      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 9.  Master Capable.  Latency=165.  Min Gnt=20.Max Lat=40.
      I/O at 0xec00.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfdffbc00.

I'm back to tulip 0.79 which works just fine. Any idea what is wrong with
0.89?

Cheers,

Helge
