Well i don´t now the wavlan card, but i asume it is an ISA card. Depending on what BIOS you have, you shoud have a way to configure the assingment of IRQ´s for the PCI Slots. The deault setting is Auto and any IRQ. You can try leaving AUTO, and reserve IRQ 10 for ISA. If that doesen´t work you still try to assing the IRQ´s you want for the PCI slots. Hope it helps! -- ____________________________________________________________________ Philip Rangel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> c/o Bashford Lokstedterweg 112 20251 Hamburg Tel: 040/4808512 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
