x windows/network card problem and keyboard freeze problem

[stoe]

I just recently installed gentoo on an old-ish latop PII 300mhz and am experiencing some sort of conflict between my video card and network card.

on bootup, cardmgr detects and setups up my belkin F5D6020 wireless card ok and eth0 goes up ok, and i'm able to use the internet with no problems via lynx prior to booting into X.

however, once i boot into X, i can't. lynx/mozilla firebird simply sit at the DNS lookup until a timeout occurs. additionally, after closing X windows, the problem persists. ifconfig still shows eth0 as ok, and a custom utility that comes with the drivers shows no problems with the card (ie it still gauges signal strength, etc).

this occurs when using the ati driver with xfree86. the odd thing is if i switch and use the vesa driver, I have no problems at all!

a second problem i've been having is that when working from a CLI, the keyboard will randomly stop functioning. i can still ping the machine from another computer, but anything that's typed simply fails to show up.

thanks for any help that you can give me.

fixed first problem myself, had to modify config.opts memory/io port ranges:



include port 0x2e0-0x2ff
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff
include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff

# High port numbers do not always work...
# include port 0x1000-0x17ff

# Extra port range for IBM Token Ring
include port 0xa00-0xaff

# Resources we should not use, even if they appear to be available

# First built-in serial port
exclude irq 4
# Second built-in serial port
exclude irq 3
# First built-in parallel port
exclude irq 7



if anyone could help me or provide any hints/ideas about my second problem i'd really appreciate it
