Hi!

I need help from developers, may be, because I have some troubles with
r8169 card.
I use laptop ASUS a6tc. The network card in this laptop is r8169. Video
is GeForce Go 7300. When I load linux (I use linux almost always), the
network and video cards take the same IRQ every time.

You can see, now it's 19, sometimes it's 17 or 21, but every time it is
the same.
Often, the computer hangs, only the reboot can help. In /var/log/messages:

There's no such problem in windows. Could you help me with it?

This could well be a problem with the nvidia driver as it shares the same IRQ. The first step would be to see if the problem still shows up without the nvidia binary module loaded.
