Hmmm, I have been bursting into cursing mode because of this issue too.
Actually, kernel isa-pnp module will *OVERRIDE* isapnptools setting, and
used some certain decided setting. If that setting don't fit the real
jumper setting of card, then there's no easy way to fix it -- either
change jumper and all other conflicting cards to suit the kernel setting,
or go through some undocumented (or barely documented) setting under
/proc.
