    That is not the case for RTL8029 based NIC's, which are PCI NIC's that
    emulate the NE2000 for driver compatibility. They are assigned IRQ's like
    any other PCI card, rather than using a setup utility like the real NE2000
    ISA cards.

    That said, have you tried a different slot? IRQ12 is often problematic,
    since it's supposed to be reserved for PS2 Mice on most systems. See if your
    BIOS allows you to exclude that IRQ somehow.
