Offtopic: Conflicts with 2.1.95

I'm not quite sure weither this is off-topic or not. If it is, i'm sorry.

I'm experiencing problems with conflicts between the eth0 device (ne2000
isa ethernetcard) and my sound device (cs4232 pnp device), and i'm not
sure this is due to a hardware conflict, or kernel problems.

The ne2000 clone uses irq 11 and io 0x300.
I use isapnp to initialize the cs4232 to the usual settings, and then do
"insmod sound; insmod ad1848; insmod uart401; insmod cs4232 io=0x534
irq=11 dma=1 dma2=3".

You can see in the log it initializes nicely:

------- (end) ---------------------

Now, the problem is that from the moment i start playing some sound, say
with x11amp, my ethernetcard totally freezes up, pinging anything
eventually results in a segmentation fault. I tried changing the ethernet
card's irq between 11 and 5, but same problem exists.

These are the errors i get in /var/log/syslog, just after firing up a .mp3
with x11amp (mind: the sound works! i hear great cd quality, crisp sound
out of my boxes).
