Hello. I have a Compaq Armada M700 with a very very annoying PCMCIA cardbus. It sucks. Whoever made it needs to be hung. (probably a 12 year old japanese kid... but still.) Anyways.... hehe. Forgive my frustration.

I need to edit the PCIC_OPTS for the pcmcia driver. I have slackware 10 running. I've gone into the /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia file and found that it has an if than else statement that runs through to see if certain config files exist. It checks to see if /etc/pcmcia.conf exists, then it checks for /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia, and finally if that doesnt work, it uses the code in the file itself.

Its set to PCIC=probe (which apparently is a slackware addition).

Anyways, if i do a cat /proc/modules, i see that the yenta_socket is loaded as well as the pcmcia_core module is loaded. So i'm assueming that the yenta_socket is the module that the pcmcia is using. Basically i need to add the following to make it work:

PCIC_OPTS="irq_list=9,10" # any 2 free IRQ's will do

There isn't an option for PCIC_OPTS in the file.... so i don't know if this will work. HOWEVER, the site i read this from seems to be under the assumption that i'm using the i82365 module, which i'm not. Does Yenta_Socket use the PCIC_OPTS? Or is that only for the I82365 module?

Thanks for your help!!!
