Any help you can offer me here would be appreciated...

I have an ISA Intel EtherExpress Pro/10+, installed in a Packard-Bell
Platinum I (ugh). It works under Windows95, and doesn't work under Linux.
It is my understanding that the eepro100.o driver should work with this
card. Please help!

Configuration:

Machine - Packard-Bell Platinum I (P5-133, PnP BIOS disabled)
Card - Intel EtherExpress Pro/10+, PnP disabled, irq=10, io=210
Linux Version - RedHat 5.2 (Kernel 2.0.36)
Driver Version - 1.05

Details:

The command "insmod eepro100.o" returns 
    "eepro100.o: init_module: Device or resource busy"

The command "eepro-diag" returns
    "eepro100-diag.c:v0.07 2/25/98 Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)

       If there is a i82557 card in the machine, explicity set the I/O port address
       using '-p <ioaddr>"

The command "eepro-diag -p 210" returns
    "A potential i82557 chip has been found, but it appears to be active. <etc>"

      Use '-e' to show parsed EEPROM contents, -e -e to show more,
