The plot thickens:
OK, in my crappy BIOS I can reassign 4 IRQs, but they don't say what
they are for. Turns out, whatever the 2nd IRQ is set to gets picked up
for the Orinoco. It's normally 5, but using 3 or 9 just results in the
card grabbing that same value.
I tried disabling it in the BIOS and the machine utterly fails to boot
after hitting the disk. So I strongly suspect it's some sort of IDE IRQ.
I put it back on 5 and made an /etc/pccard.conf that now looks like:
irq 3 9 15
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
config 0x1 "wi" 9
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
and it still grabs IRQ 5. The dmesg is now:
...
wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 5 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
...
wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE
Is there a config entry for IRQs to never take? Or some way to force
it to use 9 no matter what?
