I tried with a prism2 and NE2000 card that both work fine with the install floppies from 5.2.1 Release. Once I got 5.3-BETA1 installed, the cards worked fine there. The problem was just with the install floppies. I saw this behavior on two machines (Dell Inspiron 5000 and Dell Inspiron 5000E) which both use the TI 1225. I tried it with and without ACPI.
