hmm ...

sometimes the card maker provides a utility program to check settings.
you might need to boot into windows and then run the utility program and
look at the card's settings. there might be a 'plug n play' override or
something. i thought a PCI card would autoconfigure correctly w/o IRQ
conflicts, but this might be incorrect.
