I noticed that sometimes (mostly when I was first playing around with it),
it wouldn't allocated an IRQ the first time I ifconfig-ed it down, then
up again.  It's probably related to what you're seeing, but I haven't
looked (really) to see what's happening.  Once I stabilized my system,
it seems to have gone away, but I (think I) still see it from time to time.
