Kylie,

The answerto that depends on how many slots are available AND how
many IRQs are available AND which of those available IRQs can be used
by the NIC (not all NICs can use all IRQs)

Somehow I get the feeling that your teacher wants you to do your own
research and find the answers rather than have a discussion group
hand them to you.
