You will need to recompile the kernel, that much is guarenteed. What
you are experiencing is apparently a known problem with NE-2000 (&
clones) NICs.
First, unless you are running an SMP box, you don't need APIC in your
kernel. So, turn that off. If you actually do have an SMP box, then
stop using crappy cheap NICs :)
Most likely turning off APIC in the kernel will resolve the issue.
BTW, i'm not about to pretend that i'm some all-knowing genius who knows
about random quirks in random hardware. THe only reason i knew this was
by plugging the error (in the email SUBJECT line, minus the 'eth1') into
http://groups.google.com and reading what others had experienced.
Don't believe the fools who claim that usenet is dead. It still brims
with useful information.
