VisionTek Radeon 9100 IRQ Problems

I just replaced my All in Wonder Card with a VisionTek Radeon 9100 AGP card. I followed instructions about removing old card and drivers and adding new card and drivers. When I re-booted, I received a device failure error message and only VGA resolution. I read where this card likes IRQ 11 and does not like to share IRQ. I saw IRQ 11 was also used by my on-board Ethernet adapter, so I disabled Ethernet in Bios, rebooted, and everything was fine with video card. I have a Soyo Dragon MB and Windows XP Professional. Now I need to know how to change IRQ for ethernet, so I can re-enable it. Device manager is greyed out for resource settings for both the video card and the ethernet adapter.

Thanks.
 
Nowadays most motherboards allow you to manually set IRQs to specific PCI slots in the BIOS. So, you'll prolly need a PCI LAN card.

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking of that. My MB won't let me change IRQ's, but I hope that by moving the LAN Card from slot to slot, I can get it to use something other than IRQ 11.
