Please post again with a more exact description of what you are doing. I use
the Linksys LNE100TX NIC here all the time and have no trouble with the
tulip driver provided with either Debian Potato or LRP distributions. I
doubt RH is shipping an outdated tulip.o.
So please clarify the following bits:
>I've tried building it into the kernel, no luck.
What does "no luck" mean? What error do you get during compilation? Or
during boot/init? After boot/init, what does "ifconfig -a" say?
>When I do an insmod, it says the device or resource is in use.
Please quote the exact commend you enter and the exact response. What you
wrote is similar to some messages I get from insmod'ing but I can't manage
an exact match. Is it possible that you are insmod'ing with a kernel that
has the driver compiled in?
>The card is using IRQ 11, IO=0xF400, ( cat /proc/devices).
Are you sure of this? On my systems, /proc/devices doesn't contain any
information about IRQ or IO. I need to consult /proc/interrupts,
/proc/ioports, or /proc/pci (depending on what I'm after). Are RH systems
that different from Debian systems?
