    Isn't there a 'setup' program on the disk that came with your NIC (or
from a drivers site like http://www.driverguide.com/drivers.htm ?). This is
what you should use to change the IRQ settings of the card. You pass the
kernel parameters to tell it to look at different places when trying to
detect the cards (mainly usefule for multiple NIC's), not for configuring the
hardware - though it is getting much more PnP, so you may be right!
