Re: irq

Ok, one way to do this would be to change the IRQ of NIC.  First, do 'cat
/proc/interrupts' to find which IRQs are unused.  Then, since your NIC is
on the COM port, you can setserial a different IRQ to it.  That can be
done by setserial /dev/ttyS# irq X Where # is the COm port where your NIC
is, and X is the new IRQ.  This will take care of the IRQ conflict for
now, until you reboot. After the reboot it will all go back to how it was
before, but to avoid that change the file /etc/rc.boot/0setserial to
include (or change) line:  
${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS# irq 4 skip_test autoconfig  
${STD_FLAGS}

HTH,
