Tulip chip Netgear card

[flonesaw@longship.net]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to Debian, but not new to Linux.  In particular, I know about
configuring almost everything, but not much about the Debian way of doing
things.

I have a pair of Netgear FX-310TX NICs. (I'm uncertain of the precise model
number; neither card has a model stenciled on the card.)  The cards came in one
of those networking kits; the price was right so I bought it. The card is a PCI
card running the PNIC chip (marked LC82C169), which is a Tulip compatible.

On a brand spanking new Debian 2.2Rev4 install, this card refuses to function.
I get the following from the tulip module.

   * Device or resource busy.
     Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters including
     invalid IO or IRQ parameters

I tested the card in another machine (SuSE 6.3 - 2.2.13 - using that
installation's tulip driver with no options).  It works flawlessly.  I even
switched the two cards.  Still no go.  The cards are good.  Apparently my
installation isn't.  This is undoubtedly a silly thing.  What am I doing wrong?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Arne Flones
