Hi Denis!

Your problem known, I've got the same. I mailed this list also, but
there are no hints for gericom laptops. 

The reason of this problem is that the bios leaves irq-assignments to
the os and there is no bios-setting to change (until gericom provides an
bios-update) But these people say that they only support Windows.

I do not know what to do. As far as I can see it's no problem of the
tulip-driver, but a problem of PCI-Driver, but I do not have the ability
to track down and fix it.

Why on earth do people buy old bottles of wine when they can get a
fresh one for a quarter of the price?
