Ugh. I'm sure that my problem is of the garden
variety newbie type, but for the life of me I
cannot seem to solve this thing, and I haven't found any reference to
my particular problem in the FAQ. My card is
a 3com etherlink 10/100 pci. Win98 reports that the
driver is of the "3c90xc" variety.
Here is the output of insmod:
[root@localhost /root]# insmod 3c59x
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net/3c59x.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
lsmod (yes I have two ethernet cards, yes they both work great
in win98, yes the first one works great):
[root@localhost /root]# lsmod

Any help would be horribly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
