Also, why can't irq 8 be used? And then why is it listed in the output of `pccard dumpcis` The only free irqs I have are 2, 8, 10, 13 (10 is not free when docked however). I tried all of them and they don't seem to work (except for 10 of course). Next I'm take out my soundcard from the kernel and try irq 5.
