Interesting. Eth0 is my wired LAN interface and eth2 is my wireless LAN 
interface.  Usually, I disable the wireless for obvious reasons (it's 
installed only because I previously had a wireless solution when I 
couldn't wire the house, but I recently did so I now have wired), but 
now that it /and/ eth0 are enabled, I don't know which one applications 
are using! It's quite possible that the softphone is using eth2, which 
would probably cause problems as you previously mentioned.

Well, I disabled eth2 -- since I don't use/want to use it anyway -- with 
ifconfig eth2 down, but /proc/interrupts still shows the same entry for 
eth2 sharing the interrupt, which, as you and Rich said, isn't good.

Perhaps I should disable eth2, reboot, and see what /proc/interrupts is 
then, along with how the softphone sounds?

Note that I can listen to streaming music and other files perfectly 
fine--does this still apply?
