Steffen,
That change should work. Either is didn't rebuild or there ROM didn't 
flash or some other problem. You should try again with a clean make etc.

The change of PIRQB affect the following line of the IRQ routing table:
	 {0x00, (0x0D << 3) | 0x0, {{L_PIRQB, M_PIRQB}, {0x00, 0x00}, {0x00, 
0x00}, {0x00, 0x00}}, 0x0, 0x0},	/* ethernet */


Device 0d:0 only has 1 IRQ and it will be set to 5 if you follow the 
defines back.


Based on looking at your lspci output, I don't think this or the 
busmaster comment from the other email is the problem.

In the future lspci -xxx or lspci -xxxvvv is the most useful for making 
comparisons.
