Hi,

I was wondering if anybody had tried the Broadcom 4401 driver on
a Dell 2400 Desktop machine? It has a 2.4 Mhz P4, 

If I enable the SMP & APIC_IO options the driver never receives any
interrupts. Note that the Broadcom chip is functional in that I can
send packets out, bu unfortunately I never receive any interrupts.

If I turn off those options (they are tied together essentially) the 
driver works. 

Note that on a Dell 2350, which also has a P4, the driver works as well
(with those options).

Turning off the APIC_IO option essentially makes the interrupt scheme look
like a traditional 8259A PIC. With APIC_IO enabled, interrupts get delivered
from the APIC IO device to the Local APIC when an interrupt occurs.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S. The driver works great on the 2350. I ftp to/from it all the time
     and the performance is great.
