I am trying to get a 3com Etherlink III ISA card working with Redhat 8. =
It did not detect it during installation and I don't get a link light =
when pluggin it into a switch. I have added the lines alias eth1 3c509 =
to modules.conf. When trying to bring up the card it gives the error:=20

SIOCIFFSFLAGS: Device or resource busy

Running the el3 tool identifies the card on io 0x300 and irq 15. I don't =
think these are in conflict with any other card. Does anybody have any =
ideas?
