Is there anything else on IRQ 9?

Check /proc/interrupts

I had the same experience, but with another nic (Realtek 8029). When I
booted, the machine hung as soon as it got a packet in.

When I disabled my SCSI-adapter (Advansys ABP940U) that was on the same
IRQ, the nic worked well.

Funny thing is that now I have two NIC (3C905B 100bTX, Realtek 8029) and
the Advansys card on the same IRQ (in another machine) and it works.
