[tulip] onboard AMDtek AN983B trouble

[Joffer]

I just purchased a new MSI MS-6378 LX mainboard which has a onboard
integrated AMDtek AN983B NIC controller. I'm running trustix 1.5 with 2.2.20
kernel. I can't modprobe tulip :(( this is the driver to use, right? Should
I download the tulip.c file from the webpage or is the one in 2.2.20 good
enough?

The webpage says it has a RealTek 8100 chip, while I've located an AMDtek
AN983B
chip on the mainboard, and so says the manual too. Looking at the info on
the CD that came with the mainboard, and also doing a quick search on the
net, told me it was a some kind of a tulip chip/ nic, but modprobe tulip did
not work, giving me this error:

with 2.2.20 kernel (trustix iso as of 20020301):

using /lib/modules/2.2.20-1tr/net/tulip.o
/lib/modules/2.2.20-1tr/net/tulip.o: init_module: device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect modules parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters


I also tried with a 2.4.18 kernel, but here i get this:

/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o: init_module: No such
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect modules parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o failed
modprobe: insmod tulip failed

lspci gives me:
00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Bridgecom, Inc: Unknown device 9511 (rev 11)

i installed mandrake 8.2 just to test, but no better luck... only lspci gave
me another name:
00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys: Unknown device 9511 (rev 11)

any suggestions?
