Category Listing:  How do I install after installation a Intel ethernet card?

Issue

After I had installed Linux, I wanted to install my ethernetcard. 
This is a EtherExpress from Intel. I have tried with 
"cd /lib/modules/2.0.32/net" 
"insmod eexpress.o irq=5 io=300" 

These are the value of my ethernetcard, but the responce is a 
"loading device 'eth0'" 
"eexpress.c: Failed to register card at 0x12c" 
"eexpress.o: init module: Device or resource busy

Response

The answer is in your question, actually. Instead of "io=300" try "io=0x300". 
The value you want to use is Hexadecimal 300, which would be decimal 
768. You specified decimal 300, which is Hex 12C.
