Simple: let the pcic take the interrupt it's given. Fill in the resource list in /etc/pccard.conf with the resources that are really free. Insert the card. That's all it takes to make the 2216 work. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
