It was really weird. It had something to do with acpi and lapic and shared interrupts. The solution was to reserve irq 9 as non-pnp/non-pci in the bios, which basically allowed acpi to be the sole user and force the ne2k card to pick another irq on bios bootup before running the kernel. Marcin, what irq layout does your bios report on bootup?
