4th RTL8139 card isn't working

[Uwe Storbeck]

Hi,

I have installed a linux router with 4 Realtek RTL8139 cards.
3 of them are working fine but the 4th does not.
Configuration of the card seems to be ok:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:48:54:51:CD:D1  
          inet addr:194.56.230.59  Bcast:194.56.230.127  Mask:255.255.255.128

eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:48:54:51:E4:2A  
          inet addr:192.168.192.1  Bcast:192.168.192.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc400 

eth3      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:48:54:53:E3:31  
          inet addr:10.0.0.1  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:10 dropped:19 overruns:10 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc000 

eth0 to eth2 are working, eth3 not.
A ping to the card itself works, but no connection to the lan.
Is it a problem that eth2 and eth3 share the same irq?
How do I change the irq? Via the bios I can't assign an interrupt to a
specific slot. Are there module options to do that?

Changing the irq with ifconfig does not work:
  # ifconfig eth3 irq 9
