Hi Peter,

You would probably have a better chance trying the mailing list of your
local LUG.

> Info centre-PCI lists the correct card,
> info centre network interface lists 127.0.0.1,
> netcard config returns "no supported network card",
> insmod eepro (name of card driver) returns

> module: device or resource busy,
> modinfo eepro lists the above filename
> dmesg doesn't mention eth0,
> cannot ping my firewall.
> The card works OK with a fresh install of Debian,a Knoppix cd, or windows.
>  Have Googled for an answer but nothing seems to work.
> I think the answer may be very simple, but I am new to this and I am out
