Thanks, Mike. Yes, it does help. It's very strange -- cat /proc/pci shows the SMBus, USB, both NICs, and one sound channel on IRQ 5. Go figure.
I have tracked down the nForce driver(s), and will have a go at that. It really looks as though Linux compatibility was an afterthought. Maybe they have a high opinion of Linux users? ;-) * Mike Dresser ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > On Fri, 4 Oct 2002, Cam Ellison wrote: > > > I have installed a new MB & CPU (ASUS A7N266-VM & Athlon XP1600), and > > among the problems is that both my NICs are assigned irq 5 (they used > > to be at 10 and 12 on the old board).
