The cards were just two 'flea market specials'. I had to resort to physically moving the cards around in the machine to avoid using the same int line ( I think this was an early P3 box iirc, like yours ).
I'm not 100% certain that the chip number is right, but they were definitely broadcom 43xx. Looking back, it's possible that the cards were interfering with one another and perhaps separating them in the machine also helped. However, I explicitly noted that the irq changed when the cards were moved. Hope that helps. -ml
