It doesn't work. There are a few limited devices which can share
interrupts, as in the keyboard controller and PS/2 mouse controller, but
you can't do this as a general rule in FreeBSD. The kernel ISR handler
needs to know which device interrupt routine to call. You will need to
reconfigure one of the two cards for a different IRQ, and then configure
your kernel for the new setting. The kernel configuration part you can
do by booting with -c at the boot: prompt, and using the boot-time
configuration editor.
