modules not working please help

[bacterium <bacterium@home.com>]

I have just installed Debian potato (2.2.14). The installer gave an error 
when I tried to install the modules for my network cards. I know for 
certain that they work, I have tried them previously. They are an smc-ultra 
and a lance card. When I modprobe them, I get a message like:

smc-ultra.c: No SMC Ultra card found (i/o = 0x280).    [that is the right 
io value, it says it on the card]
/lib/modules/2.2.14/net/smc-ultra.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
/lib/modules/2.2.14/net/smc-ultra.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.2.14/net/smc-ultra.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.14/net/smc-ultra.o: insmod smc-ultra failed

Please help me install them properly.

Thanx

Adrian
