What's the card? This is crucial information, you've omitted it, and
I've no record of your earlier post. You're going to help yourself by
posting complete information.
The Netgear LNX100TX has a known issue with the tulip driver on a PNP
bios -- it gets an invalid IRQ assignment. Confirm this by checking
/proc/interrupts.
The solution is to set the IRQ via BIOS, either directly (if possible)
for the PCI slot, or by disabling PNP altogether.
I ran across this very problem tonight. Card's now happily configured
with IRQ 10.
