Hello, I recently purchased a Realtek 810x NIC card to put on my machine. The problem was that my machine has an A7N8X motherboard with a built in NIC that works in Windows XP but not UNIX. I bought the NIC card, put it in the PCI slot (its in tight) and turned my comp on hoping for network access in both Fedora Linux and Windows XP. Yet, to my suprise it fails to work in either!
The problem Windows XP gives is: "This devicde cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)" It then tells me that if I disable devices I can use my piece of hardware, yet when I disable my built in NIC card and various other devices it still fails to work.
So, I emailed the fine people in Korea about my Asus NForce 2 and they replied saying, "Dear Jeff, Thank you for your e-mail. The resource is assigned by BIOS. So it is normal that you can modify it. For your case, I recommend you should update your BIOS or contact the motherboard manufacturer."
Well Ann Yeh was onto something when she started talking about my resources and BIOS etc. When I look at my resources under Input/Output I can see that both the NVIDIA NForce MCP2 IDE Controller and Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC occupy the range of 0000F000-0000F00F which I presume is problematic. My Realtek card is reported as being on IRQ 12 (the only one).
So I turned to our friends at ASUS. I updated my BIOS to 1007 yet this did not fix it. What can I do?? Can anybody help me? Thanks a lot. - Jeff Jensen
