I've had that on one box where ACPI and Linux didn't get along. I had
to tweak BIOS options.
I'm wondering whether you'd better off to run the "neat" tool (a GUI
tool for network configuration), remove all the current hardware devices
configured, and try adding them again.
Ouch! Well, I will if I have to; I guess I can copy them back from the
post I just wrote, following up to Jim Cornette in this subthread.
Would it be any easier to try tweaking the BIOS first? I might could get
it to see my CD-Writer that way, too ...
