Clifford,
thanks for the speedy reply. I am pretty sure I found my real problem. It
looks here like eth1 a 3c590, and es1371 (my sound card) are "sharing" IRQ10.
To the best of my knowledge... You can't do that!! Now I found a problem but
I still don't know how to fix it. Both cards are PnP PCI cards without
jumpers to set the IRQ. Is there a way to forceably assign IRQs to PnP PCI
cards in software?
