Re: [newbie] ethernet card/modprobe/irq problem

That's basically what solved it for me.  I commented out the option
8139too irq=9 line in my modules.conf, rebooted twice (yes twice, got
me).  Then it worked fine again.

Well, I think the problem is that you must _not_ specify an IRQ
for the 8139too module. Make sure there is no reference like 'irq=...'
with respect to the 8139too module in /etc/modules.conf .
