I changed the PCI attachment functions about half a year ago, right now 
we're doing it like all the other PCI drivers do it too, as it was 
intended by the API.

Because of this combinations that worked before can cause troubles now, 
and combinations that were not working before will do it right now 
flawlessly. You just have to find another combination and/or force your 
BIOS to assign specific IRQs to your card.
