Hello,

I am interested to know how exactly to use the "lpr to suck up the stray
interrupts" as you mentioned below.  Just guessing, some kind of change in
the config file then recompile?  I recently recompiled my kernel and the
stray interrupt 7 came up. My network interface card is a 3c905 and I am
using the BNC port, it works just fine however, no problems there.  I would
like to get rid of that "stray interrupt 7" though, it bothers me to see
that apparent warning (if that is what that is).

Thanks,

Rick GC
