[Bug 48263] Re: [regression] Wired ethernet (VIA VT6102 Rhine II) and Wireless (RaLink 2500) no longer work under 6.06

[Michael R. Bernstein]

Paul, I can confirm that adding 'acpi=noirq' to entries in
/boot/grub/menu.lst eliminates both ethernet problems (ie. both the
inability to use the network and the system freeze when bouncing an
interface), for both the 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels (the latter provided
by Ben Collins for testing) on my 3250HX-01.

Chuck, can you explain what you mean by 'blacklisting' the motherboard?
