NIC problem

[Aseem Khurana]

Following is the info from lspci which seems related in this case. Any idea?

wrong?

Check the BIOS for ethernet settings. Some have on, off and auto settings.
If yours can be set this way (a lot cannot) and it is set to auto, set it to
on instead.

I've seen some PCs where the addition of a nic disabled the onboard one.

Failing that, what does lspci say?

IRQ conflicts?
