to activate eth1..Device busy or Not found!!!Do not know how to query
i/o address or IRQ level NIC at eth1 is defaulting to. Do not recall

RTFM?

"DFE-530TX

Status Supported, Driver Name: via-rhine

Another card using the VIA Rhine chipset. (see VIA Rhine) Don't confuse this
with the DE-530 which is a tulip based card" (from Ethernet-HOWTO, section 4.14)

HTH, HAND,

DFE-530TX uses via-rhine. DFE-530TX+ (plus) uses 8139too. I think an
older SuSE installation tryed to use rtl8139 for my plus and that did NOT
work. Maybe it is time to upgrade your distro.
