These are BIOS-generated messages?

It is the GUS.  It is swallowing a lot of ports, but you have only a 1.0A
(very old) version of the BIOS.  You will need to turn off PnP or physically
relocate the cards to avoid collision.

You haven't really said whether the ethernet card is a PnP card or not.
If it isn't, you must put it in the CMOS, or the PnP BIOS can't see it.
Since an old PnP BIOS can't see the multiple ranges used by the GUS
anyway, this is probably irrelevant.
