Re: PCMCIA - IRQ Assignments

[Andrew Ban <aban@voicenet.com>]

I am using pcmcia services 3.0.9 and I have been in RTM (PCMCIA How-to)
mode.  My 56K Modem (USR/MHz XJ1560) is also using :  IO 0x2f8 IRQ 3 but
my NIC (3COM 3C589D) also wants that address so the question I need to
answer then is how to force the NIC to IO 0x200 IRQ 9.


Other info:
Red Hat on a Digital Hinote VP562
2.2.2 Kernel
pcmcia-cs-3.0.9

well I am off to http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ to
see what I can dig up there.
