Sorry, then.  It's (I believe) an interaction with the BIOS PNP
crap and the card/setup program.

Your next bet is to yank the card and go to a friends 486 and try
to run 3c5x9cfg there and disable the card's PNP.

BTW, how old is your PC?  I've only had that problem on BIOSs out
of some el cheapo 133mhz and older Pentiums about 3 to 4 years ago.
