Hi Greg, Thanks for the pointer. I've tried that but it doesn't work. Seems that msi=0 is a parameter specific to the forcedeth module. The module used for RTL8168 is r8169. When I tried to run modprobe r8169 msi=0, dmesg says it is an unknown parameter. Nevertheless, I've found the source of the problem - Windows. XP is installed on this machine that I'm trying the Live CD on. Turns out that XP turns off the Wake on LAN feature when shutting down. The r8169 driver doesn't have the ability to turn this feature back on. To solve this problem, I gotta go back to XP, use the Device Manager to change the "Wake on LAN on shutdown" feature to "Enable". This solved the NIC issue completely! Thanks the help Greg!
