Hrm.  That must be the case.  I tried a LinkSys (ne2k-pci) and received the
same SIOCSIFFLAGS message.  I can't say that I know enough to interpret the
/proc/interrupts to say that the SCSI driver isn't being nice.

The line of interest:

11:    25563 + ncr53c8xx, + TLAN

(again, TLAN is the Netelligent card that I specifically told to share an
IRQ.)

In the end, I will have three cards all on IRQ 11 plus the other PCI
devices.  Right now, I am just trying to get the Vortex or ne2k-pci to work
as the second before attempting the third.

Time to figure out what I can do about the SA_INTERUPT with my particular
SCSI driver.

Thanks again.
