We were setting up a machine with a similar network card and although the startup message says IRQ5 the card was using IRQ10. It seems that the kernel finds the card at 0x300 but doesn't bother to check the IRQ. At the boot: prompt give the "-c" option and you'll enter a configuration routine that will allow you to specify the IRQ yourself. Everything should hopefully then work.
