Two isa network cards under OpenBsd



I have a 486-DX2/66Mhz with a motherboard that only supports isa cards.
So, I have an isa network card.
All is well as long I configure its flash with I/O 300 and IRQ 10.
If I try to put the I/O 240 then OpenBsd expects to have an IRQ 9 which 
I can not set because it says in bios that it is reserved. So I can not use
IRQ 9.
My problem is that I need to have two networkcards on this computer so I 
can use it as a firewall to exit on the internet.
The type of network card that I have is the NE2000 compatible Realtek 8019
ISA PNP.
I mention that I have set the card to jumperless.
How can I have two isa network cards work on this computer ?
One of them is should use irq 9 and the other irq 10 but I can not use irq
9 for the reson I mentioned above.
Can anyone help me ?
Thank
you.
