Especially considering a card like the AdvanceSys ADV-925U (PCI Ultra Card)
is only $64 and has full Linux support
http://www.connectcom.net/downloads/software/os/linux.html
But if savings are that important to you, are there other jumpers near I09
like I10, I11 etc, if there are, I'd guess they are the IRQ, try changing to
a normally free IRQ (like 10 etc) and in your BIOS (under PnP) reserve the
IRQ selected for ISA Legacy use only.
Still, like Dave said, a replacement PCI card will do you wonders!
