My wireless and ethernet networks are dead with the kernel 2.6.31. All work very fine with the 2.6.30 and older. I have a Toshiba laptop wich uses the iwlagn module for wireless and the sky2 for ethernet. I have tested with acpi=off in the grub kernel line but it freezes the system on boot... ifconfig gets only the lo interface. ifconfig eth0 or wlan0 up gets something like "the interface doesn't exist".

This looks like a duplicate of http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13940

There's a patch in that bug that is upstream already:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=15b812f1d0a5ca8f5efe7f5882f468af10682ca8

Please try booting 2.6.31 with "pci=use_crs" and report the result.

If possible, please also try booting an upstream kernel containing the patch above (without "pci=use_crs") and report that result, too.
