The dc driver is correct. In this case, it is complaining that it can't complete device initialization because something is using either an irq or io mem address that the card wants. Most likely trying the card in a different pci slot will solve the issue. Double check and make SURE you don't have a Plug n Play OS setting in your BIOS as well, having that on can really fux0r things.
