I've been frustrated installing Linux (Mandrake 9.2 and Suse 9.1) in my Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop. In suse installation the PCMCIA NIC D-LINK DFE-690TXD pc card always failed. I tried the suggestions on many web site regarding the configuration for this laptop but their all failed. I always get SIOCSIFFLAGS: device or resource busy. I think this device collide with some device but i don't know what or how to see this. The /var/log/messages didn't mention anything In mandrake first everything went well, but only the soundcard (opl2sa3) is not working. Than I installed the latest stable ALSA driver. After the installation things went well. But when I tried to reboot the system everything collapsed. The same PCMCIA (D-LINK DFE-690TXD) somehow collide and make the system hang. If the device plugin when the laptop startup it make the kernel panic. I tried to block all the initialization on the /etc/modules.conf regarding the alsa, but nothing works. Its been a frustrating effort for me and without any information on the Internet about this problems. I hope someone in this millist can help me out about this problems.
