The "Device busy" message is a misleading way of reporting the driver
couldn't find a recognized device.
(Not my fault!  The driver returns ENODEV.) 

I suspect that you are using an old driver.  Get a recent driver from
   http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html
      ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/tulip.c
and follow the directions at

Ehh, I don't know that this is a problem.
Get the driver to recognize the card before you look for other problems.

This chip will not be found by older drivers.
