Bug#403183: similar issue with SMC ethernet card seems to be fixed in 2.6.21.1
Well, this aint fixed in .21.1 after all. I was just lucky with the IRQ
line being 5:

When the card is in place during boot, I always get irq 3 which is also
used by the serial port:
CPU0
0: 74146 XT-PIC timer

2: 0 XT-PIC cascade

8: 1 XT-PIC rtc

I got the this same problem with 2.6.8-3 from sarge, .18-4 from etch and
.20.11 and .21.1 from upstream. In single user mode the serial driver is
not used by irattach, so the interrupt line is free:
CPU0
0: 19051 XT-PIC timer
1: 151 XT-PIC i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
3: 419 XT-PIC pcnet_cs

8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
9: 601 XT-PIC acpi, uhci_hcd:usb1, yenta, yenta, ESS Maestro
12: 106 XT-PIC i8042
14: 1737 XT-PIC ide0
15: 63 XT-PIC ide1

Perhaps my problems are just hardware/ACPI trouble...
