I had a really wierd networking problem on a new system last week
at work.  The system had an Intel ethernet adaptor, and was basically
a typical PC.  I had to reset the bios from scratch and things started
working...  I have NO idea as to what was going on, but two PCI devices
were being mapped to the same IRQ before when the problem manifested
itself.  When the problem went away, all of the devices had seperate
IRQs.
