I've managed to hack my way around my problem by freeing up some low irqs -- disabling one of the com ports (irq 3) and the parallel port in the bios, and taking them out of my system configuration in a custom kernel. I'm not sure I needed to get rid of the parallel port, but I'm not using it anyway. It's a real hack, but doing so allowed my two NE2000 cards to be placed at irq 3 and 5, and then everything worked.
