You do not need a network connection to install BL3
to your HD.  Simply execute:  install-to-hd

I have an old IBM Personal Compuetr 300 GL which has an 
on board Crystal LAN CS 8920 Card. I am unable to use the 
card.  I know that i have to use cs89x0 module.  When i 
tried to insert cs89x0 module I got the following error: 

cs89x0.c: Module autoprobing not allowed
cs89x0.c: Append io=0xNNN
cs89x0.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

When i tried to inert the cs89x0 module with an io=200 
option the following error is coming: 

using /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/cs89x0.o
cs89x0.c: No card found at 0x200
cs89x0.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

Sorry, I don't know that crystal lan card at all. I just 
know from the "No card found at 0x200" error that it 
should have jumpers or a BIOS setting to set the I/O then 
you load the driver by pointing it at the I/O set on the 
card.  The settings should be in documentation for your 
network card, and there is documentation for the driver 
in linux:
