I've been fighting with this for several days and am about to scream.
The deal is that sometimes my Proxim Symphony wireless card works and
sometimes it doesn't.  When I restart pcmcia, I usually find this in
/var/log/messages:

Yenta IRQ list 0000, PCI irq11

When that happens, card services hands irq 11 to the Symphony and the
driver, rlmod.o (which is not available in Debian, but I have used it
for a long time with my old laptop) reports "Error registering the irq
with the kernel - is it taken?"

However, once in a while, for no particular reason, after a pcmcia
restart I get:

Yenta IRQ list 0020, pci irq11

After this, when I insert the Symphony cardservices gives it irq 5 and
everything works.  I have "exclude irq 11" in my pcmcia config.opts, but
cardservices seems to silently ignore it.  I have tried to force the
interupt assignment using /etc/default/pcmcia, but as best I can tell
yenta_socket takes no options.  At least it refuses to run if I try
PCIC_OPTS "irq=5" or "pci_irq=5" or any of several other variants.

I'm using the kernel pcmcia stuff, compiled as modules because I
couldn't get the pcmcia_cs source modules to work at all.

Anybody have any suggestions?
