tulip.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

(i am unsure about the first line as I am not at that computer now, but the
second line is correct)

RH 7.0 / kernel 2.2.16-22

the commands which failed were:
 
kgcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c `[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS`

I inserted -I/usr/src/linux/include and it compiled (just now, here at work)

I will have to re-do this at home and include module versioning to get it to
work (hopefully) with stock RH although I am very tempted to just build a new
kernel w/out module versions
