Yup. The EtherExpress setup program told me the Windows drivers could
handle shared IRQ's. Apparantly, the FreeBSD drivers don't. Not that I
blame FreeBSD, there is no need for shared IRQ's(usually) for network
cards.

I looked in the BIOS and saw nothing. On my relatively new workstation,
but Award BIOS, you can manually set the IRQ's, or do it automatically. I
think the motherboard is just crap, I think it may have a bad cache. It
has a bad something, because I cannot compile a world.
