Indeed. FWIW, a friends laptop has a strange allergy to irq 10....
*any* pccard that's given irq 10 will just not work (modem's one
character behind etc), as if the controller itself couldn't handle
it. In fact, if you give the controller irq 10, nothing works !
Might it be the case that the IRQs reported as supported by the card
*are* really supported, but that controllers have limited IRQ support
too ?
