If you cannot modify either device's irq, I have solved this by removing one PCI
device and putting it in another slot. I beleive some of the shared orq are
detemined by the motherboard. ie PCI slots 1 and 3 will share an irq. If you
force by changing the bios them to move they will move together and share
another free irq. Thats PNP.
