hi everyone,

i have two questions to which i haven't found answers anywhere, so i am
asking here.

- - i have an ASUS CUR-DLS motherboard (dual P3) and the 2.4 and 2.6
kernels both say: "ASUS CUR-DLS detected: force use of acpi=ht" when
starting disabling ACPI. i must do a acpi=force in order to be able to
use it, which consequences i don't know. i looked through the acpi
documentation and this board is NOT on the blacklist. i am asking why
does the kernel disable ACPI on my mb by default? what's wrong with it?
are there any known problems?

- - on the same machine, i have 2 nics. one of them is onboard (intel
eepro/100) and the other is a realtek 8139. they used to work ok with
some versions of the kernel, but now they only work together without
ACPI. with acpi, the realtek displays the famous SIOCIFADDR "device is
busy...". is this normal? what can be happening here?

thanks for your time.
regards,
pedro.
