ethernet card IO address
I've tried to load the module that friend Vineet suggested for my ethernet card. I did it giving no parameters (io, irq). I got the following error:
>/lib/modules /2.2.18pre21/net/via-rhine.o: init module: Device or resource busy.
> Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
>/lib/modules /2.2.18pre21/net/via-rhine.o: insmod /lib/modules /2.2.18pre21/net/via-rhine.o failed
>/lib/modules /2.2.18pre21/net/via-rhine.o: insmod via-rhine failed
>Installation failed
So what is the problem? If I'm supposed to introduce the IO and IRQ parameters where can I get them from? Can I see it in Windows?
Looking at the properties of the card in windows I see the following:
Interrupt request: 11
Memory range: DE000000 - DE0000FF
I/O Interval: E000 - E0FF
So I guess IRQ=11 but IO equals to what?
Thank you,
Marcel

unfortunately, the description is slightly incomplete.
You should use the via-rhine module. I don't have a stock kernel package
lying around to check for sure, but I believe this module is included
with the stock debian kernel-images, meaning you shouldn't have to
recompile anything.
good times,
