Hmpf. In playing around, it appears that it is virtually impossible to have a modem connection AND pcmcia wlan card functioning at the same time.
I think I found how to pass options for the i82365 module (/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia - add a "PCIC_OPTS=" line) but the i82365 wont accept irq_mode=0, it totally wrecks system startup and this line gets magically converted into a series of "U" characters instead. I am simply unable to force i82365 to NOT use irq 9. In trying to force the lt_modem driver to use another irq, it fails to load. Nice. You either get to have a wireless connection or a modem connection but not both - I ran into similar ridiculous irq problems (in this day and age) on my desktop when trying to get a wlan card to work. I had to throw away good money spent on a pci-to-pcmcia adaptor and "good" orinoco gold card and cough up for a usb wlan box that works under windoze thus far but no in linux. This is certainly almost enough to make me dump PCs forevermore and go to a Mac which simply never has irq problems...EVER. praedor On Monday 24 June 2002 09:57 am, Praedor Tempus wrote: > I have an irq conflict between my wlan card and my winmodem.
