In fact, I cant remember it ever working without the irq option, even if the card uses "auto". This brings up another memory - some cards refuse to work under auto, or plugnplay setting (planet I think in my case), I had to force a fixed IRQ with a jumper (nominally the same as the auto seemed to be).
