I'd be careful with the kernels in ~mantel. I think this one may have the new acpi stuff in it; It looks like the card didn't initialize so you might want to try booting with 'acpi=off'. Also, it looks like the nic is sharing an interrupt with another device which is not a good idea (although since it's a laptop you may not be able to do anything about it).
FWIW, I've had good luck with 'em in the past. Hmm... Actually the built-in 3c59x (eth0) doesn't work, but the PCMCIA wireless card (Orinoco) does. And, your're right; I don't think that there's anything I can do about the IRQ. Also, note that _both_ work fine under 2.4.18. If I were to try a generic kernel (aka Marcelo's 2.4.19 or the latest pre-20), are there any patches that I'd need to apply to make it work well with SuSE? I know that in the past I used to apply the ALSA patches, but with ALSA integrated, that should no longer be an issue. Are there any others that I need to be aware of (yeah, I _should_ track this stuff better, but I just don't have the time). I'll try the acpi=off tomorrow morning. Thanks -Nick
