Re: PCMCIA - IRQ Assignments

[Andrew Ban <aban@voicenet.com>]

I did swap the pcmcia cards but the same thing occurs the first card gets
IRQ 3 and the second gets "RequestIRQ: Resource in use" tho I am working
on the assumption that both cards want to use IRQ 3 - this may be an error
on my part but it seems to be a reasonable guess.  what I cannot seem to
find is if I can force the assignment of IRQs for either card in
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts or /etc/pcmcia/network.opts tho network.opts does
not look like the place to do this.
