Is the device listed when you cat /proc/pci?  There should be an IRQ listed
there.  Is it being used by another device?  Check /proc/interrupts.
Do you have any other device drivers running for this card?

I do not have any experience with netconf, so I can't help you there.

Plain text email is preferred.  At least by me.
