  Can you be more specific?  If you know what card it is, we might be able
to dig up which IRQ's it's capable of.  If we know what it's capable of, you
might be able to lock that IRQ to that slot in the BIOS.

  I've never had much luck with autoload on ISA cards.  Often I can modprobe
manually and get a response, but not autoprobe.
