It used to! but that was before I installed Windoze on the machine.

That's how it works now.. cold-boot don't work, have to boot Windoze
first.

No, it always gets assigned IRQ 10. Actually at all times I can ping the
INTERFACE, but all other hosts are "unreachable" -- could it be a media
negotiation problem? all our hosts are running 100Mbps full-duplex. Maybe
I could force the speed by using the appropriate modprobe option?

As I said, this problem didn't exist before. I even used the stock RH7.1
kernel and it worked "out of the box."
Anyway thanks for the insights. I'm hoping for more. =)
