Hi Only guessing but you state that the kernel assigns irq 0, is this stated in /var/log/dmesg? If so, what is being detected prior to the network? What irq's can your card use? Is there a sound card grabing the irq first? Is it possible that the card has become damaged? Is it that you haven't configured /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf, so the system doesn't have a configuration for eth0? It is suposed to be eth0? What does # 'ifconfig eth0' reveal? hth Gena >Ok I have a problem. The Debian kernel seems to be assigning my thernet card >to irq 0. WTF is with that. I have PNPOS set to no in the BIOS.
