Possible pci conflict

Hi, first i would like to thanks Donald for writing a driver for my
realteks :) Since i'm just a poor medical student all i can afford is my 
ACME hardware ;) I'm really thankful to you and to all the opensource
community that make possible to people like me to enjoy a free operating
system.


In my pentium 133 (kernel 2.2.4) the realtek is working ok, but in my
pentium II (kernel 2.3.21) i think i'm having a pci conflict: my
ps/2 mouse and the rtl8139 are using the same IRQ (12). 

I've read this article at
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/irq-conflict.html

i've checked the BIOS and the "PNP OS" feature is disabled, also i
disabled the IRQ12 in the bios but for what understood (Busmouse how-to)
it's impossible to change the IRQ on the ps/2 mouse.

I also tried to compile the driver as a module but since PCI cards do not
select their own IRQ line, i think it's the same to have the
driver compiled as module or built on the kernel... Am i wrong?

All the suggestions are welcome

TIA
