I've posted my problem here some time ago, but nobody was able to help, maybe,because I haven't provided enough info. I'm returning to this problem from time to time,with different results. So, another attempt: First, I have some more questions: 1. How could I correlate device with it's respective description in DSDT ? ACPI spec says it must be done via _ADR or _HID. How could I obtain _HID for particular device (the device in question is MiniPCI 3c556 network card). What kind of _ADR could I expect from MiniPCI devices ? Will it be just like ordinary PCI devices ("%04X04X", device, function), or something different ? I'm seeing _ADRs for every other PCI devices on this machine, except sound device (CS46XX) and MiniPCI's, modem and NIC. Is it correct ? 2. Looking at lspci outputs , I've noticed that the only device who's settings are changed between boots with acpi and acpi=off is this NIC. Does it means it's _STA or _INI is just plain wrong in DSTD ? (WinXP works fine, however, could it be that DSDT is specifically tuned for Windows ? (I've found various codepaths for specific "optimisations" for various MS OS'es, but using acpi_os_name="Some MS Product" gave me nothing (useful)). 3. Could it be that this device description is simply missing from DSDT ? What will ACPI do when undescribed device is found ? Will ACPI attempt to manage it ? Could I remove device completely from DSDT and hope it's configuration will remain unchanged from BIOS POST settings ? Well, and one more question: what should I do now ? Right now I'm working with acpi=off, but acpi gives me lots of advantages in control of my machine. On which ml should I ask ? Where to dig ?
