I am also having trouble with a machine with 2 network cards, one is a D-LINK both have Realtek chips.
I believe in my case the IRQ conflict between the video card and one of the ethernet cards (eth1). Both trying to use IRQ 5.
I used netconf to change the IRQ on the network card to 4.
But, I still can't connect to the DSL modem.
However, changing the IRQ on your card sounds like solution for you.

IRQ 4 will typically be used by ttyS0 & ttyS2 (Com 1 & 3) so beware of that one.
What kernel are you running? Is it one with nice PnP support, if so is it enabled? In your BIOS what are the 'resources' being allocated by - auto or manual (if the option exists)?
You should be able to share PCI IRQs without any problems. I've got two PCI cards here that show up on IRQ 11, a RealTek 8029 (ne2k-pci) and a RealTek 8139 (rtl8139too) on 2.2.19 and both are schweet... (well for cheapo cards anyway):

Actually - looks like the SCSI card is on IRQ 11 too... shocking...
