Yes, I run FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 and recently upgraded from an early
revision of the card. You probably should use the other kernel
if netbsd is similar to freebsd in this respect. I tried the aha
freebsd floppy and it had similar symptoms to those you describe.
When you change the IRQ setting, there are two palces you must do this,
the switchbank 2 switches 6,7 and 8 and the jumper block near the
middle of the edge connector (w3-w8). Here is the probe info
from 'dmesg':
bt0 at 0x330 irq 12 drq 5 on isa
Hope this helps
