Don't know this card, but if it's ISA, you can use isapnp, if it's PCI
actually you can't do anything but play with the BIOS trying to force
some settings, I had success with this very few times. A better
alternative might be to use a kernel with APIC for mono-processor
machines (non SMP), which allowes for sharing IRQ's (if I understood
right that point). I do use it, have a BIOS which is not particularly
smart about IRQ distribution, and I'm not experiencing any problems.
