ethernet card problem

[Robert Waldner <Waldner@KPNQwest.at>]

Hi!

After having now successfully compiled my new 2.0.38 kernel with all the 
necessary modules I tried insmoding via-rhine, which I hope is the correct
module for (out of /proc/pci):

Bus  0, device   9, function  0:
Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies Unknown device (rev 6).
  Vendor id=1106. Device id=3043.
  Medium devsel.  IRQ 7.  Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=118.Max Lat=152.
  I/O at 0xe000.
  Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfa000000.

ifconfig -a shows the eth2-interface:

eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:C8:E4:83:E9  
          inet addr:0.0.0.0  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:0.0.0.0
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 
          Interrupt:7 Base address:0xe000 

and the syslog looks ok

but

bash-2.03# ifconfig eth2 192.168.2.1/24 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable

and it doesn´t show up in ifconfig (without -a) nor is it ping´able.

Any hints for the dump&stupid like myself?

TIA,
