That was the first thing I checked. I also checked all IRQ's on all devices --
no conflicts. Just now I removed the soundcard (OPTI chipset driver) and 
my network card seems to be working. 

Hate to mention this, but everything works ( M$-like ) fine under NT :(

Can it be that they share memory? I can't find out what the soundcard uses but
the network card is on 0xd8000. I think I'll just fiddle with that some more. Serves 
me right for buying a cheap soundcard :)
