Subject:   EtherExpress cards irq problem

Hi!

I have the 2.2.5-Release box with Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 LAN
card in it (the fxp0 device). Recently, I've decided to put 2nd
card in my computer, so I've inserted the second EtherExpress 
card into free PCI slot. 

FreeBSD OS detects it as fxp1 device, I ifconfig it, but though 
it doesn't work. The problem is that both of those cards get the 
same irq, f.e. irq 12, and so only one of them (the fxp0 one) works, 
while fxp1 doesn't. Seems like cards request the same irq from BIOS,
(I have Award BIOS) but I didn't find how can I change it.

I've tried to assign irq's for them manually changing BIOS settins - 
it didn't help. Also (hm, maybe it was a bad idea) I've tried to put 
irq's for those cards into kernel config file and rebuilded kernel - 
it didn't help too. So if someone had the same problem and managed 
with it - please, tell me. Thanks in advance.

Yours
