Oops. All the ports are ok. I have tried one card on all the 
ports and all of them can detect the card. It seems that the 
computer can take 1 network card only.

Where to change the irq? Which irqs can be used or shared? 
How many are there? Are some irqs specially used for certain 
thing? Currently, my irq 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 13 are empty.
Why autodetect can detect the extra card and assign an irq 
for it?

The irq numbers in bios setup is not in continuous form. 
They are under Power Saving Configuration area. So I guess 
it's not related to my problem. I cannot find any place to 
disable the auto detect feature.
