The biggest issue I found with my laptop was caused by IRQ sharing conflicts. Poke around in your BIOS and see if you can manually set IRQ's. Do you have a PCMCIA nic? If so, try disabling your internal wireless and using the PCMCIA nic and see if that helps. Did you try booting up with the irqpool kernel boot option and/or the acpi=off boot option? Also, did you try these drivers from Intel? http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/1000/linux/e100.htm Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
