Ummm, in the PROTOCOL.INI file for _my_ UMC NIC there's an "interrupt ="
line. It was installed as IRQ 3 (even though I'd initialized the card
to IRQ 10), and I had to manually change the PROTOCOL.INI entry to IRQ
10. (There's also an "iobase =" line.) These values are picked up by
the UMC NIC driver when the driver loads (I tested to verify this).

I don't know what the D-Link will do, but I'll find out a little later
this morning. Perhaps some NICs do this and others don't.
