irq conflict: IBM Creditcard Ether II adapter

Hello. My uname on my Thinkpad 380XD (using OLDCARD kernel) is

FreeBSD thinkpad.realss 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0: Sat May  
1 01:18:09 CST 2004     
root at thinkpad.realss:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TP380XD  i386

I got the following message starting pccardd(8):

May  1 11:21:00 thinkpad pccardd[913]: Card "IBM Corp."("Ethernet") 
[0934214] [PC-NIC ENCC
 990010759-001A] matched "IBM Corp." ("Ethernet") [(null)] [(null)]
May  1 11:21:00 thinkpad pccardd[913]: Ether=00:04:ac:90:ef:c4
May  1 11:21:00 thinkpad pccardd[913]: Failed to allocate IRQ for IBM Corp.
May  1 11:21:00 thinkpad pccardd[913]: pccardd started

Adjusting hint.ed.0.irq or adding "irq 5" to /etc/pccard.conf doesn't 
help. I searched the web it seems my IBM Creditcard Ether II perhaps is 
an irq selfish card occupying irq 5. But irq 5 is taken by pcm.

According to pcm(4) manual, If it's non-PnP card, I can adjust 
hint.pcm.0.irq; but if the sound card is a PnP card, the device hints 
doesn't work, irq is assigned automatically, which is right my situation.

I also tried to adjust loader.conf by adding hw.pcic entries to disable 
PCI irq routing and also set hw.pcic.ignore_pci but that doesn't work.

As far as I can understand, upon booting pcm finds irq 5 is free, and 
takes it; after boot, pccardd(8) wish to take irq 5 too and create an 
irq conflict. Moving pcm away from irq 5 would solve the problem, but 
it's not possible with my limited knowledge; moving the card away from 
irq 5 perhaps will work, but it's as well beyond my knowledge.

Can you enlight me what to do now? Here is my desg: (my kernel config 
file is attached.)
