Re: Ethernet not working

A little birdy told me that Mike Noble said:

i don't have any idea if this relates... as i haven't used the MB
  you're talking about... but that being said:
i had some very similar issues to what you are describing with
  the NIC... and they were solved quite easily by simply loading
  the SMP kernel (instead of the uni-processor one)...
  and the SMP kernel is on the install CDs/DVD...

my experience was that the SMP kernel was pre-compiled with
  better APIC support that the uniprocessor one...
  and the interrupt handling of the NIC involved wouldn't work
  right off the bat without it...

just a thought...
