Ummm, the Intel EtherExpress Pro caught my attention.
I had runtime problems in 6.1 with some cards based on that Chipset--Net
access creamed my video and of course I couldn't telnet in either. I am
unsure at what point the install goes graphical in Air... So what I am
saying may not apply at all.
If the card is next to the AGP slot, try moving it to another slot. If it is
not, try removing it and see if that could possibly cause the error. Mine
acted so much like a shared interrupt problem.....
And my fix was to toss the cards into some older boxes and use their cards in
the newer machines. Both situations worked.
