[Bug 48263] Re: [regression] Wired ethernet (VIA VT6102 Rhine II) and Wireless (RaLink 2500) no longer work under 6.06 (needs acpi=noirq blacklisting)

[Fabián Rodríguez]

I originally reported this in #34958. I can confirm the acpi=noirq
option in the appropriate menu.lst entry works. However current ISOs do
not include this fix, which makes it very difficult for a new user to
update their system unless they are aware of this bug report and read it
completely. Is there a better way to let Averatec owners know about this
?

The blacklisting is now automatic, but only after applying a kernel
upgrade. So, basically, if one has an Averatec 3250HX-01 like me, they
have to first manually modify the menu.lst entry for the kernel they
load and add the acpi=noirq option to enable network access,  and apply
current updates to the kernel.
