I have a Pentium 90 with 32mb ram and a 510mb hd, and I have only one comm
port, and the ethernet card is using the same irq setting as the serial
port (of which i need a mouse to use x-windows with :)

I have been told that it is possible to change the IRQ setting of the
Ethernet card by passing the kernel something macabre at startup, can
anyone please give me details of how to do this?

Many thanks in advance,
