Hmmmm.....assuming you disabled PCIBIOS and otherwise followed the advice I
gave you previously, I would then say that at this point you would need
more help than I can give you (Im still pretty much a newbie).....you will
definitely need the contents of your dmesg with only two nics.
Make sure to include the dmesg in your next post and make sure you explain
as much as possible exactly what steps you have taken to solve the problem
(that way you dont get 5 replies with all of them telling you to do
something you have already tried), not to mention anything that you did
prior to the problem manifesting.
Good Luck
