Hi all. I have two servers 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5PAE CentOS release 5.7 (Final) Both have two external gigabit network cards (installed Planet with Realtek r8169 chipset). lspci 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

I've added irqpoll option to kernel line in grub.conf but it hasn't helped. I've checked options in bios but haven't found anything interesting. Any clues what to do next?
