hi, I got two Realtec Cards in my PC (RTL8139C both, but tried a RTL8139D too)

if eth0 is used, everything is fine. eth0 is connected to the local network and the internet.

eth1 should be connected to another PC where I want to get gentoo in. the PCs are connected via a crossed cable.

then I do this:

Code:
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1 up


still - everything fine.



but: one ping from the other PC or any traffic on my eth1 makes a hard system crash.

I noticed that
Code:
bash-2.05b# cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
  0:     467956          XT-PIC  timer
  1:        871          XT-PIC  i8042
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  4:       2191          XT-PIC  serial
  8:          2          XT-PIC  rtc
  9:          0          XT-PIC  acpi
 11:      52591          XT-PIC  Ensoniq AudioPCI, VIA8233, eth0, eth1, nvidia
 12:      16681          XT-PIC  i8042
 14:      31611          XT-PIC  ide0
 15:       1288          XT-PIC  ide1
NMI:          0
ERR:          0


eth1 use the same irq if i do ifconfig eth1 up

I want to solve that somehow. it is a pain in the ass that all my devices use IRQ 11 and 10 is almost unused.
btw. lspci isnt installed on my system. in which package is lspci?

so my questions are:
anybody any help
AND
I think reconfiguring the IRQs for the PCI cards would be fine, but HOW?
(I read something about adding to modules.conf: options driver irq=10,11, but this is 1st no gentoo solution 2nd maybe doesnt help)

-------------
SPECS:
Kernel 2.6.3-win4lin
VIA K7VTA
AMD Duron 1.2 GHz
i686/athlon-xp gentoo
sound 1: onboard via82xx
sound 2: pci ensoniq 1371
video: ov511 (not working in 2.6.x)
vga: nvidia gf5900xt

after playing around I found the failure (which rather suprised me)

it was the network card of the other computer, which was not working!

strange that it could kill MY system because of that
