I flash-upgraded the motherboard BIOS and the computer started booting
without noapic. But there would be no networking, although ifconfig
showed eth0 and eth1 up. If I booted with noapic, networking worked
for a short time after booting and went down irretrievably.
I then took out eth1 (a Realtek 8139) card and connected eth0
(motherboard RJ45) to the LAN, and now everything seems OK. The eth1
card had worked for a long time, so I'd be surprised if it were faulty.
Is it possible for apic to interfere with one network card in a way that
stops both network connections from working?
