Shared irq's are a hardware and motherboard issue, not a operating system
issue. You have to be able to setup your hardware NOT to use shared IRQ's
if you can.
This has been a problem on PC's since the first IBM PC rolled out, and
still continues today. That is why special multiport cards were created to
manage multiple resources on a single card/interrupt. In the dark ages
that meant multiple port serial cards to run terminals on, etc.

Hi:
How goes FreeBSD deal with shared irqs? Looks like
FreeBSD could only work with two nic's (the same exact
type).
I am running 5.4 and trying to install three or four
cards (the same exact type) in one machine.
Thanks
