this is an ISA NE2000 card. when I boot from the installation disk it asks
about the language, etc. then asks about NFS image/FTP/etc. I choose NFS,
then it prompts for the network card. When I choose "NE2000" I get an
error: "/tmp/ne.o: init_module: Device or resource busy" 
The older (Athena-Linux 5.2) boot disk works fine.

Any ideas?
thanks,

==============
Is this an ISA or PCI NE2000 card?  In what way does this version
differ from the previous version (are you talking 5.2 or Real RedHat
6.2?)
