Hi:
I have a PCMCIA Ethernet Card L100C32 2 10/100 Mbps 32 bits from
Dynalink. I'm trying to make it work on a Sony VAIO SR1K running
Redhat 7.0, kernel 2.2.16-22 using pcmcia-cs-3.1.22.
I'm unable to make the card work (the card does not seem to be
broken; it works in Windows 2000). I mailed the company, and
they say that the card is a Realtek chipset base card with the
card ID and the settings activated into the scripts, and that I
should download the latest driver from the net.
I have rtl8139.o from pcmcia-cs, which I guess is what I need.
After boot up I tried ifconfig, and I only get the output for
'lo'. If I try ifconfig eth0 I get 'Device not found'.
I first tried without defining the module in /etc/modules.conf.
Later on I added "alias eth0 rtl8139", but nothing changed.
lsmod shows me this:

vfat 9404 2 (autoclean)

When I try to load the module manually using modprobe I get:
[root@pan /root]# modprobe rtl8139
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/rtl8139.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including inva
lid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/rtl8139.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/rtl8139.
o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/rtl8139.o: insmod rtl8139 failed
>From /proc/pci I see:
PCI devices found:
Bus 32, device 0, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Realtek Unknown device (rev 16).
Vendor id=10ec. Device id=8138.
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable.
I would appreciate if any of you can help me on this one. I tried
several HOWTO's, mailing lists, etc., but so far I could not find
the solution.
Below there are a couple of logs that I hope could be useful.
Thanks!!

This is from /var/log/messages when I insert or eject the card:
