eth0: card reports no resources. (It's back....)

["Stan Brown" <stanb@awod.com>]

I;v built a Debian machine from a Compaq Proliant. Uisng an Intell NIC
card. Here is the relevant info from dmesg:

When I start loading the network hevaily I get tons's of teh following
messages to the console.

eth0: card reports no resources.

The card is pluged into a 10MB hub, not a 100MB one, could this be part of
the problem?

I'v ugraded to kernel 2.4.9, and still this problem persists.


here some (potenitaly useful) info form ifconfig, after a few meesges ahve
appearde on the console:

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc000 

The second card was the original one in the machine, and I added teh new
(first) one to try to see if it was card specic

The machien is realyy unusable like this. What can I try to fix it next?
