Okay, quick question. Are your network and sound cards using the same IRQ?

I have numerous versions of this card, all work perfectly well with bit-torrent clients. Except on one machine where they can't share an IRQ due to the chipset not handling properly. If this is the case (sharing an IRQ), I'd suggest moving the card to another slot in you machine. another thing: give us a dump of "lspci" and "cat /proc/interrupts" Reply back to this list NOT me directly. It will be ignored if done so. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
