I had similar problems with a new Centrino laptop. The wireless would |
| 20 |
not work, neither would the regular network port. I first tried to |
| 21 |
boot with the kernel parameter acpi=off. This worked for me, however I |
| 22 |
then lost all acpi funtions so I could not use SpeedStep or see how |
| 23 |
much battery life I had. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I kept searchig and found irqpoll as a kernel boot option. Using that |
| 26 |
fixed my wireless up and allowed me to get my battery status. I think |
| 27 |
it all had to do with irq sharing and conflicts. |
| 28 |
|

Try booting up with the irqpool kernel boot option or the acpi=off boot |
| 30 |
option and see what you get. |
