What kernel are you using? it's just that the irq's I'm getting for the 
gigabit devices are zero (dual gigabit ethernet card) for the 2.6.9-rc2 
plus patchs kernel but for the 2.4 series I was getting 12 and 9 as can 
be seen below and configuring the devices worked fine. I've also noticed 
that there have been recent changes made to the irq routing in the 
kernel so this may have something to do with it so I'll try one the 
i386's with gigabit with the 2.6.9-rc2 and see what I get!
