Good catch. Look to see if the ethernet IRQ is 16 or higher (use the
ifconfig command). If so, then the mobo is using apic for the ethernet
device. Pass noapic and you should see the IRQ drop to 15 or below and
then the NIC will probably magically start working. If it's already at
15 or below before you pass noapic, then it will probably not make any
difference.
