Hi 
[Please Cc a reply to me, as I am not a subscriber to
the list]

I guess this is a pretty stock question on this list,
but I haven't been able to work things out on my
machine as yet. Please help me!
The scenario is,I have a standart Red hat 7.0 (kerlne
2.2.16-22) running. On of my NICs is a Cnet Pro(dmfe.o
module) and the Other is a LinkSys NC100 Ver 2.1
"Network Everywhere" (tulip.o module).

My Cnet card is connected to a DSL line and Linsys to
the internal network. If I doa insmod dmfe, and then
ifconfig eth0, it works fine. BUT if I do : 

# insmod tulip
Using /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/tulip.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/tulip.o: init_module:
Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters


This is what I get. I gather this is becasue of an IRQ
conflict. Result of my lspci -v  and cat
/proc/interrupt are attached at the end of this
e-mail.

I was wondering if anyone could help me resolve this
issue.


Thanks a lot

- Sumit
