newbie question

[Skip]

Hi,

I have what appears to be a Tulip chip on my network card. I'm not sure,
since the card is a complete no name. I mean that literally. It has no
brand name on it at all. It used to be recognized at boot, but it isn't
anymore. I completely lost my system a while back and had to rebuild it,
and I can't seem to get the system to recognize it anymore. I compiled
networking support as a module. If I use netcfg and ask it to be
activated, I get a message on the console where I started netcfg that
"initialization of eth0 delayed" or something like that. If I try it by
hand, i.e., insmod tulip, I get a message that the "device is busy."
Here is what is reported for the Ethernet card when I do a cat on
/proc/pci


PCI devices found:
  Bus  0, device  15, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: DEC DC21142 (rev 48).
      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 10.  Master
Capable.  Latency=165.  Min Gnt=20.Max Lat=40.
      I/O at 0x1000.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf4020000.


So I guess it's being found at boot-up.


Here is what is reported when I do a cat on /proc/ioports

I don't see anything in there to tell me if there's an Ethernet card
attached to a port. Anybody have any idea what else I could do to get it
working?

Thanks for any help,
