if it's a good NIC it may not be a problem with the NIC. It may be in a PCI slot which shares an IRQ with another device that is not friendly, it may be a bios setting(PCI timing or something), it may be the motherboard(since you don't mention what board). or, it could be the NIC itself.. tracing down a hardware problem is usually a real pain to do. my best reccomendation is to check your motherboard manual, for what PCI slots share what IRQs(typically the first and last PCI slots share irqs with other things, while the middle ones don't). And check the bios settings, be sure you have somewhat conservative settings(defaults are usually fine), and check the IRQs themselves (cat /proc/interrupts or run 'procinfo'). nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
