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.

Greg
