Re: PCMCIA - IRQ Assignments

[Jonathan Disher <jdisher@pinit.ece.drexel.edu>]

In my experience, on a Gateway 2000 original Solo, and a Toshiba Satellite
Pro 430CDT, swap the cards... i.e. if the NIC is on top, move it to the
bottom.  I dunno why, but this fixed that problem of only the modem
initializing like 95% of the time.

*shrug*.
