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.

I have an old motherboard (with AMIBios 2.5) which doesn't have any USB slots, so I bought a generic USB OHCI controller to use. Problem is, both it and my Realtek 8029 network card have been assigned irq 12 and now I am getting "ed0: device timeout" messages. I am running 4.3-RELEASE. It seems to spot both cards on bootup and ifconfig looks normal (haven't looked at the USB setup yet because I want to get the network back first)
If I remove the USB card, I can use the network fine.
I can't seem to force the BIOS to assign an interrupt to each slot/card and nothing I have tried in the kernel configuration seems to have helped either. I would appreciate any help before I give up and try my ISA network card instead.
