I didn't see any crashes or hangs with use_dac enabled (or rather, not
disabled).
It defaults to 0. Set it to 1 if you dare (once the current issues are
fixed, ok ? :o) ).
Yeah. ;)

OK. I will try debugging it using gdb later (probably not today), to see
where it segfaults.

Sadly my box won't boot, if I disable ACPI.
Can you give a look at:

Ac*r, laptop, acpi and x64 are making me paranoid.
Sure. It will take me a while to digest all that stuff! I probably won't
be able to do that for a couple of days. There is a fixed-up ACPI file
for the Acer Aspire 1523LMi. I probably need to do some work. Earlier
versions of the 1520 series came with Broadcom GigE.

From your ethtool patch, it looks like I have a 8110. I did search
their specs for version registers, etc., but I could not see them. Where
did you get your datasheet from for the 8110?
I got my rtl8169spec-121.pdf from Realtek's website when their search
engine was still working. Now you'd better use Google.

Thanks, I've got a copy now. Googling for that exact filename gives a
site containing specifications for various network chips.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks, bye, Rich =]
