We need help on your question. I always check the defaults and then add the hardware with that setting. Most of my devices are PCI and autoconfig. I have only been using FreeBSD for 10 months and haven't done enough configuring hardware to change from feeling like a newbie. If you can change IRQ's on_the_fly, it probably has to be done at boot time by doing a "boot -c". You can change most device parameters at that point and I assume you can change the IRQ for a NIC the same way. Eventually, I think you want to build the parameters into your kernel.
