well, I tried pccardc enabler 0 wi0 -i 9 and it kernel panicked.. twice.
I also tried 3, after disabling the sio1 and winmodem stuff. And I removed
this, and the LPT, and removed any references to 3/7 in my kernel. So my
free set is now 3 7 9. I don't see "5" as free since its what I'm using
for the pcic pcard0 pcard1 suite of entries in my kernel config.

If I'm using irq 5 for the pcic, can I still use it inside the pccard framework
for the daughter cards? 

If I have 3/5/7/9 notionally free, and am compiling a kernel, which is
the best bet to pick for pcic, or do I leave it as irq? and let the kernel
decide?

cheers
