    After a week of frustration, I have decided that my
    network problems must caused by a bad NIC, not
    cabling, configuration, or switch problems. I have
    also determined which box must have the bad NIC. So I
    went out and bought a new card and am trying to get it
    installed.

    The old card was an ISA NE2000 compatible card.

    The new card is a PCI Network Everywhere NC100U-WM.

    Network Everywhere does not provide tech support for
    linux, but they do show where to get source and how to
    compile the driver. They also show how to install the
    driver on Slackware with a 2.0.XX kernel. Well, the
    driver that they say to compile is the tulip driver,
    and I have that already in my /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/
    directory, so I removed the ne2000 line from
    /etc/modules and replaced it with a tulip line with no
    parameters. Unfortunately, the card is not being
    found when the system reboots.

    I tried to run 'modprobe tulip' but I get the
    following error:

    # modprobe tulip
    Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than
    /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep
    /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/tulip.o: init_module: Device
    or resource busy
    Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
    parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
    /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/tulip.o: insmod
    /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/tulip.o failed
    /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/tulip.o: insmod tulip failed
    #

    All instructions are for Windows and assume that
    Windows will configure the PnP card each time it
    boots. There is no default IRQ, or IO address
    supplied.

    How do I find what the device is set for and how do I
    change it, if necessary?

    Has anyone had any luck with this card, or do I need
    to return it and get somethin else?
