Re: networking woes with 2.4 kernel

Just for grins, and to complete all the basic stuff, could you check in
your BIOS and make sure that the "PnP OS" setting is set to "off" or
"no", whichever selection you have? I have seen this produce some very
weird IRQ settings on this chipset here when it is set to "yes".
Both excellent ideas! I could easily see a mis-identified IRQ causing
the transmit timeout errors, since the driver wouldn't know that the
chip had finished transmitting. I'll check tonight. I don't have a 2.2
kernel on the box at the moment, but I should be able to check what
WinME is using and maybe use a Debian network install disk with a 2.2
kernel to find out what 2.2 is seeing.
Now that I think if it, I don't remember switching the PnP setting in
the BIOS for this motherboard, so that could certainly be the problem.
