Go into your bios and under one of the options you can reserve irq's,
dma's, and io addresses for old isa boards. Some bioses have the option
of "non plug-and-play os". This means that your bios will setup your pnp
cards for you, and not let the os do it. You probably have this enabled,
which is a good thing as far as pnp under linux goes, but you have to
reserve the resources for your non-pnp ethernet card. Then things should
work fine. Be sure to reserve the irq's and such for all of your non pnp
cards or else your sound card might take them as well.
