Sometimes, it's possible to make FreeBSD output the same IRQs in dmesg, but the device still won't work (often because the BIOS has locked the IRQ to, say, IRQ 10). > > IRQ 9: > > Can I use this for daughter cards in the slot as their IRQ to probe on? Depends. Some devices work with IRQ 9, and others don't. I think people have reported that the Wavelan card can use IRQ 9 (on older versions of FreeBSD, though). > > IRQ 11: uhci0 > > I've been recommended to try and disable this, to free it up for cards.

At this point, I think you need to make sure that the pcic device is working; you don't need any more free IRQs at the moment. You've already got a free IRQ (5 or 9) to use for the Wavelan card, and you can always free up more, later, if you need more (but you don't, if all you want to use is the Wavelan card). -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
