That entry in /etc/modules.conf only tells the kernel *where* to look. It doesn't use that to assign the IRQ. It's also likely that your BIOS is set up for a PnP Operating System (i.e. Win9x). It's letting your sound card and NIC share IRQs and letting your OS sort it out. In the case of Linux, it can't do that without "help". The simplest thing to do is turn off that BIOS option, if it exists. Regards Hall
