In my experience, in a lot of cases you won't see anything in /proc (and
it's interupts, not irq) unless you actually have a driver loaded for
the particular device.

I personally find that the best way is just to modprobe the module with
I/Os starting at about 0x200 and going up in 10s.

It seems to work with non-PnP network cards. YMMV.
