I won't claim victory.i'm using dual boot in this machine, linux under a custom 2.6.11 kernel and if i'm in linux and reboot under windows the network card gets detected again under another phantom network connection that well does nothing, i need to turn off my machine and then go to windows, So it's like the hardware isn't getting their resources free o something like that i don't know, pasing the noapic parm to kernel once worked but as i get more use of it discovered it was just pure look. So there something still wrong in there with via-velocity cause my old and trusty realtek never gived me that kind of problems

The module is the via_velocity, the Debian AMD64 installer has this module on it though it won't autodetect it. I can't remember if I modprobed it before or after the base install. It is a buggy module under 2.6.8 however, I would recommend upgrading to to a later kernel as soon as possible. It works flawlessly under 2.6.10 Regards Ed.
