I tried "#ifdef 0"-ing the set_WOL function body( empty function ) in
3c59x.c and enabled acpi and built another kernel
and I still have the problem.
So its NOT a problem with the ACPI code in 3c59x.c per se.
I noticed that the following message was from net/core/netfilter.c( i
got this message on running dhclient )
ip_local_deliver: bad loopback skb: PRE_ROUTING LOCAL_IN
so i diabled netfilter also, and I still had the issue.
I assigned a static IP. ifconfig showed me the right info.
"route" however froze most of the times. I have 2 routes
172.16.12.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 172.16.12.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
It would freeze after the first one most often. If it did'nt, do a ping www.google.com,
which will drop all the packets, and try route again, and it would freeze after the first route.
I strace'd route and noticed that I was waiting on "poll". I have attached the strace
info on route.

I dont know about sharing resources. I have attached my dmesg.
The whole thing works like a charm under APM however.
I'm gonna try increasing vortex_debug level to see what happens.
would be glad to furnish more info...
