3com59x IRQ problem

[Alexander Adrowitzer <aadrowit@isis.wu-wien.ac.at>]

Dear Debian-Experts!

I have the following problem: I try to configure my 3com 9000B NCI card on
my ASUS A7V mainboard. I use the 2.2.18pre21 kernel. Compiling the module
3c59x with "insmod 3c59x" results in the error-message "Warning! IRQ 0
will not work" and "ifconfig eth0" results in "cannot allocate IRQ #0".

I tried to set the IRQ by hand in the BIOS of my motherboard (to,
5,7,9,11,14) and even tried another PCI slot (currently i am using Slot 2
out of 4). I didnt help either.

So what am i doing wrong ?

many thx for your help, Alex
