Hi Simon Without knowing what you have tried so far I would suggest this: First edit and re-compile your kernel so you are not running on the generic on3 that installs by default. The dir is /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, in there you will find GENERIC and LINT, i recommend that you read LINT, then copy and rename the GENERIC kernel, then edit it to match your hardware. During the custom kernel edit you will get a chance to specify the IRQ and IOMEM address for these devices. Once again, without knowing much about your hardware, I recommend that you keep the audio card on IRQ 5 and moe the NIC to IRQ 10 or 3, or whatever you have that is available, just don't use IRQ 2 (use IQ 9 instead of 2). hope this helps out. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Siemonsma [mailto:simon196405@bigfoot.com] Sent: Monday, July 09, 2001 1:36 PM To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: how to resolve IRQ conflict between network and audio card I have an IRQ conflict between my NE2000 compatible network card (ISA) and my audio card (PCI). Both are plug and play and want to use IRQ 5. The strange thing is that in W'2000 the NE2000 compatible card uses IRQ 10, and the audio card uses IRQ 11 (together with my ISDN modem, the PCI to USB controller, and my AGP graphics card. So they don't conflict there. At the moment it is not really a big problem, but I'll need the network card in the future to get ADSL up and running. Does anyone has any idea on how to solve this. It is important that at the end both cards work with freeBSD as well as with W'2000.
