If it's like the alc setup on an Acer Aspire One D250, the 10/100 alc chip is used with a 10/100/1000 Atheros PHY. Don't remember the exact symptoms, but it only worked right after manually setting the media to 100baseTX. That was on a gigabit network, but might also help with no cable connected. Rebuilding the kernel without the alc device ought to also work, but is less elegant. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
