If your cards are PNP and you are having this problem then I have seen this
before on a FIC 503 with Kingstone PNP NICs running Win98. The problem was
caused by a failure of Windows 98 and the BIOS to coordinate IRQ routing
correctly. My solution was to move the NIC to another slot and set the BIOS
to Non PNP with a defined PCI slot and an assigned IRQ for the NIC.

Or you can switch from 98 to NT Workstation ... NT handles IRQs differently
then 98 so it is unlikely you will have this problem with Workstation even
using the same setup.
