(I'm being a little redundant) ... it's 99% likely to be the IRQ. I recently
scrounged a couple of old ISA ethernet boards to hook up my machines at home.
They were all 'ed1', and they *all* used different IRQ's (!). It took a while
to figure out which board was using which IRQ.
Likely IRQ's assigned to these boards:
5
9
10
maybe 11
