The Xircom cards seem to be somewhat partial to IRQ 10 or 11, but that's by no means a hard-n-fast rule. If you can't nail this stuff down in the BIOS, or boot Windows and see what combination it manages to get working, you're probably stuck trying different things until you get lucky :-( This is a 16-bit RealPort we're dealing with, right? The CardBus models don't work in 4.x.
