Hi If you're using speakup and the woody disks off of the speakup site, that's your problem. There's a problem with the kernel patched with speakup and dhcp. Although, I thought that this problem had been fixed. Gena >Ok well the network card is clearly not damaged because Windblows can use it >fine. The soundcard can't grab an irq either.
