> Interrupt sharing is a bus, not driver, issue.

It's a driver issue as well. Last time I asked, I was told by one of your
driver developers that the current 3Com Ethernet and serial drivers were
not written so as to allow them to share an IRQ -- even though the PC card
(in this case, the 3Com Modem+Ethernet) hardware is built to do it.
