eth0 problem

[Piero Caracciolo <piero.caracciolo@ens.fr>]

I'm unsuccesfully striving to configure my network connection. Thanks to 
this list's suggestions, I gathered the following pieces of information.

This is the output of "dmesg" concerning eth0:

eth0: VIA VT6102 Rhine-II at 0xb800, 00:05:5d:aa:3b:e0, IRQ 0.
eth0: MII PHY found at address 8, status 0x782d advertising 05e1 Link 45e1.

And this is the output of "lspci | Ethernet"

00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Ethernet Controller 
(rev 43)

The output of "ifconfig" doesn't show any sign of eth0 working:

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          RX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:1595 (1.5 KiB)  TX bytes:1595 (1.5 KiB)

sl0       Link encap:Serial Line IP
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  P-t-P:192.168.0.2  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1492  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 txqueuelen:10
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

Hence I tried " modprobe via-rhine", but I got:

/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/via-rhine.o: init_module: Device or 
resource busy
/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/via-rhine.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/via-rhine.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/via-rhine.o: insmod via-rhine failed


So I imagine that there is a conflict problem that I don't know how to 
manage.

Thank for helping.
