This is assuming that the card is a PnP one, i.e. that the BIOS _can_
tell it to use a specific IRQ.
If the card is software-programmable but _not_ PnP, this will _not_
work, because the IRQ used is configured on the card (in some memory
register that the BIOS doesn't know about) and that's all the _card_
knows about. 
It was that way, e.g., with older 3C509 cards, also with a lot
of NE2000 compatibles (those that did not have jumpers).
