DHCP "leases" an IP address; sounds like you've been getting the same IP address
every time... just lucky I guess.

Usually looks like 255.255.255.0 or somesuch; not important right now since you
have other problems (below)....

No, but the lack of an eth0 is... hmm... I must've forgot to ask for "dmesg"
output... that might be useful since the ethernet appears to be missing...

Only a loopback address... to be expected since eth0 is not up; but this
situation will not let any packets leave this machine.

No eth driver either.

So the sound card is grabbing the eth interrupt... I'm not familiar with that
card... need to see "dmesg" output...

Sure. I've seen other mails about duplicate eth entries; didn't pay attention
to the details... I'm re-inserting expert list in case someone at Mandrake
needs to see this situation first hand.

These resolve to proxy1 and proxy2.cdrrpd1.ia.home.com

The gateway has no DNS entry; but I can ping it; also, unusual that it would
have an address outside your subnet (see my comment about IP and mask below).

This should read ...="eth0" but was probably clobbered because the eth interface
is not detected.

Something is seriously wrong here... NETMASK is missing; based on BROADCAST and
NETWORK, NETMASK probably should be 255.255.252.0 (aka /22; yup, a legit
non-byte-boundary mask)... However, IPADDR is not within NETWORK/BROADCAST
space... you may have gotten a partial DHCP config...

Gotta resolve this interrupt problem first.

What does it say for your eth card (which is missing here too)?

Has the sound card always been there? Hopefully I've provided enough analysis
as to what's wrong for someone (Mandrake?) to help with the duplicate ethN
entries and IRQ conflict while I head off to sleep.
"dmesg" output might help; but enough info here indicates a hardware issue may
be the root cause... though the duplicate eth stuff is likely a software issue.
