This card is supported by the 3c59x driver. If you compile it as a
module you can easily setup some parameters in the /etc/modules file,
like:
options 3c59x full_duplex=1 options=12
3c59x
This will force the card to work full-duplex on 100BT.
Unfortunately the IRQ cannot be programmed in this card but is assigned
at initialization time by your motherboard. Check to see if your CMOS
gives you options to assign IRQ to specific PCI/ISA slots. If not,
usually using a different slot will give a different IRQ.
Hope it helps,
