We had done that previously and set the available irqs in = /etc/pccard.conf.sample and later in /etc/pccard.conf. We have = checked it again, and here are the current irq assignments: irq device 14 ata0 15 ata1 10 pci0 6 fd0 1 atkbd0 4 sio0 7 ppc0 10 ep0 3 ep1 Our current settings in /etc/pccard.conf are: debuglevel 99 io 0x220-0x360 irq 5 8 9 11 12 13 # Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE [all the details for this copied from /etc/pccard.conf.sample] ----------- Our current kernel config for the pcic device is: device pcic0 at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 We had it at irq 11, and the isa adapter card was recognized, but the = wireless card errors were as described. We changed it to the current = setting and pccardd sees the pccard when it is inserted, but we still = have the same error.
