Hi i installed Arch Linux on my fathers Laptop. It´s a IBM Thinkpad T22.
After the base-installation i installd hwd.
It tells me that the network-modul is 3c59x. I set up the IP, GW and nameserver, load the modul, but i couldn´t connect to our homenetwork.
I have installed Arch Linux on many computers, and never had any Problems. But here i don´t know why it won´t work.

'lsmod' to make sure the module is there.
'ifconfig' to see what is going on.
'dmesg' to check for other problems.
Offline
The modul is loaded. it´s in the lsmod list
ifconfig -a tells me the eth0 is up and running.
dmesg show´s an errorat the end!!
Something with like this
eth0: .....
etho:....
eth0:...
.
.
.
.
.i don´t know the excat error, because my father has his computer again, and he´s working on it.
i´ll post the error later

I don't have thinkpad notebook but google says it's a known problem with this driver and notebook combination (at least). It might be related to acpi/apic. Try workarounds described in:
