After a couple of years of Windows-jail, I'm now refreshing my FreeBSD knowledge while installing a 4.6R firewall/Adsl router/web server box for a friend. I must admit that my PC-hardware fluency dates a quite back, but I remember having to fight against the BIOS to keep every PCI board on different HW resources. The Athlon motherboard I'm installing has not a way to specify what IRQ to assign each PCI slot, and I end up using the same IRQ11 for the two on-board USB root devices and one of the two network cards, and IRQ10 for both the AGP video adapter and the second network card. The kernel is quite happy with this setup, but it's not clear to me what should I expect when I'll put the machine under real traffic. Will everything go well when the first network card will trigger an interrupt on the same line where the USB is used to? Note that I've never run that PC on any other OS. Thanks for any answers.
