PCI does not require any configuration. device or resource busy means there is an interrupt conflict on that machine or something is wrong wit h the hardware configuration. run dmesg and see what error t he tulip driver is actually giving you; "device or resource busy" is a standard error returned by the kernel; the driver will have more to say on the matter. The problem is not linux; the problem is your hardware configuration and Windows would probably drop its bundle on the same hardware. If windows did work; it would cludge around something without telling you about it. I'd like to know what dmesg said before giving up on it; the pci card is a better card; not only is it 100 megabit; it has better multicast filters; lower cpu utilzation; and less bus utilization. All other things equal; PCI cards are more efficient than ISA cards; so I doubt you wasted your money. Internet connection sharing will probably do the job admirably; however every time Windows crashes you'll l oose your net link. fun fun fun. Try putting the pci card in a different slot; on PCI slot ordermatters. You just might have a conflict between onboard video irq and pci network card. Regards, Kerry.
