Check the jumper settings on the card itself.

Even if you found the IRQ on windows, it doesn't mean that's what the 
card is set to. Windows automatically assigns the port range and IRQ, 
unless you specify otherwise within your system settings for that 
hardware.

DOS and I'm pretty sure linux, rely on the jumper setting.
