Try a program called 'irqtune'

I found it on the web (the url escapes me at the moment)

It is run before dialing in and can re prioritise
any pair of irq's you choose. The pair I use (reccomended)
is irq #3 and irq #14.

Sorry I can't find the url for you. The url is fairly
easy to find by doing a search on irqtune.
