You are using a hammer where you need duck-duster. It's there:

INTERRUPT
IOBASE
TXFIFO
ETHERID
NETADDRESS
BUSNO
DEVICENO
MEDIUM
_AUTO
_10HALF
_10FULL
_100HALF
_100FULL

However, as I mentioned many messages ago, it's most likely useless on a
PCI card. It you want to try anyway, add:

INTERRUPT=11

or something similar to PROTOCOL.INI and see it the driver complains on
reboot.

Ususually, you tell the PCI BIOS which IRQ's not to use.

I forget. Have you tried to find a BIOS upgrade for this MB?

Good luck. Maybe it's time to consider a new motherboard. What are the
spec's on the one you have?
