I'm experiencing problems with conflicts between the eth0 device (ne2000
isa ethernetcard) and my sound device (cs4232 pnp device), and i'm not
sure this is due to a hardware conflict, or kernel problems.

The ne2000 clone uses irq 11 and io 0x300.
I use isapnp to initialize the cs4232 to the usual settings, and then do
"insmod sound; insmod ad1848; insmod uart401; insmod cs4232 io=0x534
irq=11 dma=1 dma2=3".

You can see in the log it initializes nicely:

------- (end) ---------------------

Now, the problem is that from the moment i start playing some sound, say
with x11amp, my ethernetcard totally freezes up, pinging anything
eventually results in a segmentation fault. I tried changing the ethernet
card's irq between 10 and 5, but same problem exists.

These are the errors i get in /var/log/syslog, just after firing up a .mp3
with x11amp (mind: the sound works! i hear great cd quality, crisp sound
out of my boxes).
