Yes.  It indicates that the express.o device driver module doesn't work with
your hardware.  I suggest you check out 

	http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers

to see if you can find a driver for your hardware.

But, look at the driver code or the web page to see what the "give io=_x_"
is about.  It might a clue.

Probably, the express.o driver is only for the Intel EtherExpress boards.

You might also consider picking up an add on Ethernet board (about $30).
