I think in your BIOS, you might be able to specify a
different IRQ for each of the two PCI slots.... but that's
a stretch. Probably what you'll have to do is specify an
IRQ for each at boot up as part of the init of the
cards.... not sure exactly how you'd go about doing that
tho.... except maybe find the init script and add "irq=xx"
to each line. I don't know if that will even work.
