It looks like Netgear support is unable to help any further with this.
Sorry if this was reported earlier, but I couldn't find it in the
archive.

The RH7 is a partitionless installation (I don't know if this matters).
I downloaded and installed the latest tulip driver.  Same result:

eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0xcc00b000, 00:A0:CC:60:38:2E, IRQ
0.
eth0:  MII transceiver #1 config 3000 status 782d advertising 01e1.

we also get:

I would like to set the IRQ to any other (like 5 or 10) but the source
code indicates that IRQ is not a setable module option.

How can I get the IRQ set correctly?

Thanks,
