Generally (at least in APIC mode) the IRQ assignments are based on 
hard-wired interrupt lines on the board. In this case, the slots that 
the Radeon and eth0 card are in likely share a physical interrupt line 
and there is no way to separate them in software. You can try moving the 
  card(s) to different slots..
