If the adapter was installed when OS/2 was installed, it's driver
should have been installed automatically.  You can verify this by
looking for a line in CONFIG.SYS which looks something like
BASEDEV=AHA1nnn.ADD.  

There's no way to tell the driver in CONFIG.SYS whether interrupts
are enabled, so I assume that enabling them on the card is all
that's required; no reinstallation necessary.

The README file in the root directory of the boot partition has
additional information on this subject.
