My training wheels are wobbling, and I need a push....

I compiled a device driver for for the embedded NIC on my motherboard.
It compiled OK.

When I enter the command: insmod sis900.o

the following error message is experienced: sis900.o: init_module:
Device or resource busy

Does this mean that the NIC is busy? Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

I ran lapci, and the system sees the NIC. The following message was
reported:
00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc.: Unknown
device 9102 (rev 10)

I suspect that the sis900 module loaded, and now I need to look for a
Davicon driver for the NIC.

Thanks for the nudge in the correct direction.
