Yes I think so. I'd need an option to tell the kernel to NOT load a certain module. The thing is, the 8139too module gets COMPILED with either MMIO or PIO enabled, so this cannot be changed during runtime with a boot paramater. I just had to find a way to tell the LiveCD to not load this one single module and everything would be fine. Would it be possible to create a custom LiveCD?

I thought maybe you could pass a kernel parameter like disablemodules=8139too

Otherwise, if it is a mini-pci card, can you just remove it. I had a broadcom mini-pci card. I switched it to Intel Pro 2200. It was just a small door on the bottom of the laptop.

Well IS there such a kernel parameter like "disablemodules"?? I have googled so much for a way to disable a module, but haven't found anything.
