I'm having a problem with getting a Wireless PCI/PCMCIA adapter configuration to work on two different
boxes using redhat9.0. The pcmcia card is a Agere/Orinoco.
I can get it to work on a P3 box using RH9.0 Lucent/Agere/Melco PCM driver, but I can't
get it to to on a Dual AMD/Athlon 1900+ box, even if I use the UP Linux.
The PCMCIA configurations are the same on both boxes.
I have attached the output for/lspci for the PCI adapter and parts of the /var/log/messages
to see if someone could help me out.
As you will note the PCI adapter is dev 0205 and usb is dev 0200.

I'm mot a expert at this, but, it seems that the network card and usb has a IRO conflict. If so how do
I correct this?

Thanks for any and all help.

this is a pcmcia card plugged into a dual processor box? how is that being accomplished? just curious...

anyway, I'd try adding this line "exclude irq 3" in your /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and then restarting pcmcia services, I'm not sure what effect it will have beyond excluding that irq (3) for cards plugged into the slot. If that line is already there, of course, disregard.

you can also check to see that pnp is turned "off" in your bios setup, however/wherever that is done.

The pcmcia card is plugged into a PCI card then plugged into a pci slot, and you have to
use the kernel-pcmcia application.

Ok, now it makes sense, what is that card that's carrying the pcmcia card? (make/model) and does it act any different with the slot empty, irq wise? does adding that line to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts change anything? One last thing, is this machine acpi enabled?
