The problem is a resource conflict, the 2 devices are probably sharing an IRQ and/or an I/O range. Not sure how you'd fix this, it depends on the hardware. Some mobo's allow you to manually set IRQ's and such but this is extremely hazardous if you dual-boot the machine or if you have any data on it you don't want to lose. Fubarring your IRQ settings can give you a very dead box, or at least one that won't boot past the BIOS ;-) It looks like your sound and NIC cards are using IRQ 5 and 10, respectively - is your BIOS doing any bizarre (re)mapping between these interrupts?
