When a module is loaded it looks in a text file called 
either /etc/modprobe.conf (2.6 kernel) or /etc/modules.conf to see if there 
are any options listed in there for it to use with that module instead of the 
defaults.

It sounds like you have a line in there, something like

options 8139too irq=x io=y

edit the /etc/modules.conf //etc/modprobe.conf text file to comment out that 
line if it exists (put a # at the start of the line and save).  Then do the 
modprobe again and see what can be seen.
