Which is in slot 0, and which is in slot 1?

I'll *BET* that even though it's disabled, the IRQ is still 'in use',
which would explain why the etherlink3 might now work if it's attempting
to use irq 5.

What will happen is that of these IRQ, those that are truly free will
only work.  I'm probably going to remove this code completely from
/etc/pccard.conf in the future since it's of no use.  The system now
knows which interrupts are free and which are not, so there is no need
to tell it what to use (except for bogusness in pccardd).

Try messing with the IRQS here and see if that changes things with
regards to using '?' for the IRQ on the 3C589.
