I also have problems running sound and network together. My sound card
finally works, using these settings in both the bios and the kernel config:

 wss0 at isa0 port 0x530-0x537 irq 10 drq 3 drq2 3: CS4231 or AD1845

But... then my 3Com pc-card does not get probed correctly anymore:

 pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0
 ep0 at pcmcia0 function 0 port 0x330-0x33f: 3Com 3c589 10Mbps Ethernet
 ep0: wrote 0x7ff to TX_AVAIL_THRESH, read back 0x0. Interface disabled

Seems to conflict with some audio port, because, if I disable sound
in the bios, the network does well:

 pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0
 ep0 at pcmcia0 function 0 port 0x330-0x33f: 3Com 3c589 10Mbps Ethernet
 ep0: address 00:10:5a:90:52:62, 8KB byte-wide FIFO, 5:3 Rx:Tx split
 ep0: 10baseT, 10base5, 10base2 (default 10baseT)

How can I specify the port the 3Com card should operate on? From
MS Windows, I can set the port to, say, 0x270, then sound and
network go together, at least under Windows...
