The bus mouse is interrupt selectable using the J4 jumper block
located on the INPORT interface card. Make sure the netcard is not
using the same interrupt; if your network card is using the same
interrupt, it will crash when the mouse driver installs.

The bus mouse uses its own I/O address (23c-23f). On the current
interface cards this can be changed to the lower four bytes by
selecting secondary INPORT (address 238-23b) over PRIMARY on the J3
jumper setting. (note: moving the card to another slot may in
addition solve the problem).

If the above does not solve the problem or if you have the serial
mouse, change the driver loading order or disable the driver (mouse
off) when using the network.

Contact the manufacturers of your netcard to see if they know of the
above problem.
