After seeing my card at irq 3, I grepped again just for irq 3 and found sio1 and an unknown pci sharing it. So I went into /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and saw a line that said: irq [tab] 3 5 10 11 15 I created the file /etc/pccard.conf and added one line only (I have a built-in sound card, in which case /etc/defaults/pccard.conf suggested removing irq 5): irq [tab] 10 11 15 Then rebooted and magic happened. Hopefully this helps some lost googlers! --- "Kevin Kinsey, DaleCo, S.P." wrote: > Twig Les wrote: > > >As for the routing...I can no longer > >reach my default gateway (I could before, not sure > >what's broke now) and all my hosts are on the same > >subnet since I'm at home. > > I have one server that is unhappy with routes > unless I run routed on it.
