[KLUG Hardware] PCI Eathernet card will not work (device or resource busy)

[Scott Cleveland]

O.S. Suse 6.4
Computer: compaq (hay stop laughing!) P-166 w/ 48mb of ram only 1 pci slot
Eather net card: D-link DFE-530tx+

I have another computer runing suse 6.4 and the same eathernet card and it 
works fine This other machine reconizes the card as a Real talk cad and used 
the module rtl8139.o

When the compaq boots I get the message that the "device or resource is 
busy"
also "insmod eth0 failed" and I can see that it is trying to load the 
correct module.  I get the same message when I try "bash# insmod rtl9139" I 
get the same error.

I have tried to recompile the kernel to support this card directly and as a 
module . I get the same message with eather configuration.

There is in my bios, setings for my 1 PCI slot.

They are:

Option Rom Scan:  Enable or disable
Enanle master: Enable or Disable
Latency Timer: Default 0020h 0040h 0060h 0080h 00a0h 00c0h 00e0h

Also ther is an option for "plug and play o/s" yes or no.  Does any of the 
bios stuff matter in this case?

Any Ideas?

Thank you in advance for your help

One other thing of note, my nic came with a cdrom of drivers and this module 
rtl8139 is included in the /LINUX directory.  Basicly I am sure this is the 
right module.
