Nicholas:
Unfortunately, the BIOS only has provision for "excluding IRQs and Address Ranges for legacy ISA devices", but not for disabling Plug-n-Pray. I looked in the DOS stuff that came with the 3com card, but nothing let me set the IRQ. I'll look at the netgear disk and see if it has anything. I also tried enabling the Plug-n-Play support in the 2.2 kernel, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
