Yesterday I spent a fair amount of time attempting to get a 4.0 snapshot to install on my notebook (Dell Latitude CPi), which until now has been happily running 3.3-PAO. Sadly, it seems not to like my ethernet card. When installing, sysinstall provides three IRQ exclude options before initializing pccard support--the first option causes ep0 not to be probed; the second two allow it to be probed, but not work correctly. DHCP succeeds, but following that the DNS lookup hangs. It appears that the IRQ is set wrong such that incoming packets are not being observed by the IP stack, but this is just speculation. Tcpdump running on the box next to it shows that outgoing packets seem to be alright. Sysinstall's debug screen indicates that IRQ5 is being assigned to the card--PAO was allocating IRQ 3 (and it worked :-). Any pointers--especially ones that get the install of 4.0 working ``out of the box'' on this notebook would be much appreciated.
