update on Network/Sound conflict

hello again,

somtime back i posted about a conflict i was experiencing with my pci
sound card and pci network card that both pick up irq 10.

although i got several suggestions, i was unable to resolve the conflict.

previously i was using a 3com 3c905c "Cyclone" and have replaced it with
an Intel ether-express Pro 10/100 to see if it behaves the same. it's very
similar.

sound is initialized on boot and the NIC is correctly identified, but an
ifconfig reveals only the "lo" device.

when attempting to start networking via `/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start` i
get the following output:

[root@smaug ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
Bringing up interface lo                                   [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0                                 [  OK  ]
[root@smaug ~]# ifconfig
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Bcast:127.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3584  Metric:1
          RX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0

it says "OK" but still only the "lo" device.

i've also included dmesg output for the sound card and NIC.

any suggestions would be appreciated.... (perhaps i should be looking at
the sound card driver instead?)
