Well as I said before, my card is currently sharing an irq. The card
that I told you about aparently has some defect that prevents it from
sharing an irq. If your card has the same defect then it could be a
problem, but 3com makes good cards and what made that one go bad was the
fact that my friend got it used and his system had a problem with over
heating. If its working properly I wouldnt touch it. But if you start
using your mouse and stuff starts going wrong again move the card to
another irg. It looks like you have several spare. So I wouldnt worry
about it.
