Hi - I recently ran into exactly the same problem while setting up Linux
on a friends PC. Ended up that the resource busy message was due to a
hardware conflict. The module was trying to load the NIC with the same
IRQ used by a SCSI controller. As in your case, I could see that the NIC
was there, but I couldn't do anything with it.
