The problem is NOT compiling in appropriate kernel options. If the
modules for PS/2 and USB are present, the kernel will use the
information, which it gathers on bootup about the IRQs, to solve the PnP
problems. Not having those modules forces the kernel to blindly ignore
the otherwise used IRQs, so there can occur IRQ conflicts. Windows
always has all modules so this problem wonīt happen.

Another point to your NIC. Is it a combo version with 10base-2 and
10base-T ? Then mabe itīs adjusted to listen to the 10base-2 port or the
autosensing doesnīt work properly. Get vendorīs DOS-tool to check this
out.
