Any experience using two > ports with shared IRQ under FreeBSD? It doesn't work. There are a few limited devices which can share interrupts, as in the keyboard controller and PS/2 mouse controller, but you can't do this as a general rule in FreeBSD. The kernel ISR handler needs to know which device interrupt routine to call. You will need to reconfigure one of the two cards for a different IRQ, and then configure your kernel for the new setting. The kernel configuration part you can do by booting with -c at the boot: prompt, and using the boot-time configuration editor. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
