He brings up a good point.  To the original author, you've tried noacpi,
but what about noapic?

the driver does support neither ethtool nor older ioctls.
this is the same bug as of 3com 3c9x cards.

you can confirm it by setting MII_NOT_SUPPORTED in ifcfg*eth0

hopefully, drakconnect will offer to disable ifplugd

I can't enable ACPI on my computer because my bios is blacklisted,
so I can't do any other test. If you are unsure of this, check /proc/acpi.
If it exists, acpi is enabled on your computer. Or check

I've already done it.
I don't think it's a kernel problem, because 
RTL8029(AS) works well on the kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk in mdk9.0.
It works fine without extra kernel settings in mdk9.0.

Well, chances of getting it fixed are better if you can try some more
experiments. Have you tried updating to the latest version of initscripts?
I know the ne2k-pci driver doesn't support ifplugd, so it may have been
affected. Also, you could try installing the initscripts from 9.0.

Are you using dhcp?

What does 'ifstatus -v' tell you?

*snip* it's not a problem with mandrake, it's a problem with the kernel. I 
also had problems with a different network card similarly.  acpi=off in 
lilo.conf worked on the newer kernels.

Oh, and the reason it worked in 9.0 is because the 2.4.19 kernel that ships 
with 9.0 has acpi disabled by default.

Except that he has tried:

2) 2.4.19-16mdk

So, it doesn't look like acpi ...
