Nope you can't share. The e1000 driver could otherwise cause priority inversions when an Ethernet-related IRQ is pending, the IRQ line will get disabled therefore, and thus succeeding RT-USB-originated IRQs will be shadowed until Linux gets a chance to run again. That the system hangs is due to the ungraceful way we currently handle such exceptions. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This is one example of the frequent problems I was referring to...] Jan
