Thanks, I changed it to 13 (the only other availible irq that the card
seems to support according to dumpcis info) and it still gives me the same
error.  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.

Thanks,
