The short answer is "it uses any IRQ you want it to", it being a
plug-and-pray device.
Slightly longer answer: install the isapnptools package. Run
'pnpdump'; this will give you a listing of all of the PnP devices on
your system, with some configurable parameters. Save the result into
/etc/isapnp.conf and edit to taste. You can run '/etc/init.d/isapnp
start' to test the results; that file will also be used to configure
your PnP devices to your liking on every boot.
