The good news is, it doesn't look like you have any of the normal
problems... (-=  If putting it on it's own IRQ doesn't work, you might try
a 2.4.19 kernel, there's a new driver in there for the pci based
prism2.5 cards.  I havn't tried it yet, but it's an easy thing to try to
see if it might just be a driver issue.
