maybe this is an isa-specific problem that i refuse to remember, but
i think the answer is that rather than changing the irq (i believe this
is determed by hard-wiring for the isa bus --- if memory serves), you
inform the kernel what the irq is. plan9.ini(8) has more information
but i think you wish
ether0=type=3C509 irq=12
in your plan9.ini.
