network card detected but module fails
i'm trying to install debian onto a friend's amd-k7 from the potato cdroms. his network card says it's a "d-link dfe-530tx", and sure enough, running "lspci -v" gives:
[snip non-relevant devices]
00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: VIA technologies, Inc. : Unknown device 3065 (rev 43)
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc: Unknown device 1400
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 12
I/O ports at d400
Memory at efffff00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
Expansion ROM at effe0000 [disabled]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management verion 2
according to a web site i found (http://lhd.datapower.com/db/dispproduct.php3?DISP?296) both the via-rhine and 3c507 modules should work. when i got to the "Configure Device Driver Modules" stage of the installation, however, they both gave me this:
Installing module 3c507. If the device isn't there, or isn't configured correctly, this could cause your system to pause for up to a minute.
/lib/modules/2.2.17/net/3c507.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/2.2.17/net/3c507.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/3c507.o failed.
/lib/modules/2.2.17/net/3c507.o: insmod 3c507 failed.
Installation failed
Please press enter when you are ready to continue
i didn't put any IO or IRQ parameters, so then i tried using io=0xd400 and irq=12 (like lspci seemed to suggest) but still got the same message. does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? i'm not very experienced with this kind of thing so please don't gloss over details (or point me to a resource which doesn't). thanks in advance.
