[lug] Modutils?

[socket at pop.peakpeak.com]

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to help a relative of mine set up a network
between two Mandrake 6.5 systems.  The problem I've got is with the network 
device module, via-rhine, for a D-Link DFE-530Tx on IRQ 3, IO 0x1000

#modprobe via-rhine
via_rhine.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
#modprobe via-rhine io=0x1000
invalid parameter io

Trying to set io or irq either on the command line or in conf.modules
is only seen as an invalid parameter.

lspci shows:

cat /proc/pci:
PCI devices found:
..
Bus  0, device   6, function  0:

      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 3.  Master Capable.  
Latency=64.  Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
      I/O at 0x1000 [0x1001].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe0014800 [0xe0014800].
..

I'm quite sure of the fact that this isn't a conflict of IRQs or IO space in 
either Windows or Linux.  I've been banging my head against this wall for a 
couple hours, and this seems intuitively a 30-second problem.  I'm feeling 
rather stupid. Can someone give us a hand?

Thanks.
