I recently did an upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2. Everything seems to be working except for
my internet. Something seems to be wrong with the ethernet card. I get this output
when I run net_monitor and then try to connect:
(net_monitor:3353): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gmain.c: line 1560 (g_source_remove):
assertion `tag > 0' failed
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Setting network parameters: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument
Failed to bring up eth0.
[FAILED]
The internet does work when I reboot and use the old kernel (2.4.21-0.13).
A google search for SIOCSIFFLAGS seems to indicate it is an IRQ I/O problem and that I
should look at
$ifconfig -a along with /proc/interrupts and /proc/pci.
I did that, but I don't know what to do now?
