Hello. I am getting 'e1000 unknown parameter 'irq' and my adapter wont come up.
 

RHEL5 and I am still new at this. I hope I am asking the right question in saying, how to I appropraitely assign an IRQ to this device? or is there another way to get the computer to recognize my ethernet card? When I do an lsmod, e1000e and e100 shows up...not e1000 tho. Thanks.

I found the answer and adding it here in case someone else can use it..in /etc/modprobe. Apparently irq 14 was being assigned to the nic. I commented that out and rebooted and all is well. Hey, how do I thank myself?

Hi,

You take the right or left arm and slightly bend it towards your back. Then just 'pat' away with the palm of your hand! :)

Unless you just happen to have someone else in the room and hopefully they will aid you in that endeavor. :)
