Jeremiah, If the Sony card implies a Sony laptop, then you definitely could use an irq on the pcic device. There are three ways to assign an IRQ to the pcic: 1) the "long" way: rebuild the kernel with device pcic0 at isa? irq 9 2) the "Peter" way: update /boot/loader.conf with machdep.pccard.pcic_irq="09" 3) the "Greg" way: update /boot/loader.conf with userconfig_script_load="YES" and /boot/kernel.conf with ir pcic0 9 q This method assumes your kernel has device pcic0 and not just device pcic. This is true in GENERIC kernels. [The userconfig solution is generalizable to the various devices (with unit numbers) in the kernel, with at least the following commands: di sio1 (disable) en pcic1 (enable) po pcm0 0x530 (set port) ir pcic0 9 (set IRQ) dr pcm0 1 (set DRQ) iom pcic0 0xd8000 (set iomem) ios ata2 16 (set iosize) f pcm0 0x10 (set flags) ls (list all configurable devices) q (last line) This is very handy on those older machines where it takes a long time to rebuild the kernel. Try boot -c to get the whole picture.] All examples above assume irq 9 is the one you want to use. Substitute as appropriate.
