FC2 T3 fails on network SCIOCSIFFLAGS revisited

Setting acpi=off doesn't change anything. 

I tried deleting the network config and rebooting. Now kudzu correctly
detects the NetXtreme BCM570X Gigabit Ethernet (tg3.ko) and I configure it.
However after kudzu, then I get this message during kernel boot:

Apr 28 20:51:33 maxer kernel: tg3: Unknown parameter `irq'
Apr 28 20:51:33 maxer kernel: ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team
Apr 28 20:51:33 maxer kernel: ip_conntrack version 2.1 (8191 buckets, 65528
max) - 296 bytes per conntrack
Apr 28 20:51:33 maxer kernel: tg3: Unknown parameter `irq'
Apr 28 20:51:33 maxer kernel: tg3: Unknown parameter `irq'

Apr 28 20:55:38 maxer kernel: tg3: Unknown parameter `irq'

(/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339custom/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko): Unknown symbol
in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Here is what hwconf shows after re-detect with kudzu:

class: NETWORK
bus: PCI
detached: 0
device: eth0
driver: tg3
desc: "Broadcom Corporation|NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet"
vendorId: 14e4
deviceId: 16a6
subVendorId: 1043
subDeviceId: 80a9
pciType: 1
pcidom:    0
pcibus:  2
pcidev:  5
pcifn:  0

Mind you I haven't a clue as to why the update from FC2 T2 to T3 would cause
this. I can still dual boot and use XP Pro and of course my network works.
:) Otherwise I wouldn't be able to send you this. :)

Does acpi=off as a boot option help,if so what does the IRQ use look like.
Also what is the exact text of the error message.
