I am in the process of installing on another computer at the moment
which has this via_rhine network interface. I will not start normally
without a solution I have found on the net. At least this worked for the
liveCD installation stage. It is issuing acpi=off and noapic to the
kernel. 
Now it is booted into the 'real' kernel and I gave it these options
before boot;

grub.conf

kernel /boot/gentoo-2.6.15-ck-1 root=/dev/hda3 acpi=off noapic

but still the adapter won't work anymore. What could be the reason. It
shows the same symptoms as before, ifconfig eth0 will show the device
properly configured but trying to add a route will fail.

Please help..
