I have an irq conflict between my wlan card and my winmodem. If I use the wlan card without using the modem, no problem, I can connect to my other computer via wlan. If I connect via modem to my ISP, it kills my wlan card with a buttload of "Tx timeout! resetting card" and loss of ability to talk to my other computer.
I looked at the irqs in use and see that irq 3 is for the wlan module/device itself, and is unshared. The pcmcia controller, on the other hand (i82365) shares irq 9 with the modem driver (ltserial). I have read the PCMCIA howto and it indicates that one thing I could try is to force the system to use ONLY PCI interrupts by using the irq_mode=0 setting. OK. So, where does one place this switch? What file contains the "load i82365.o" command because it sure isn't modules.conf. Also, I don't know the syntax of the command. The HOWTO shows "i82365 module: irq_mode=0" Nice, but it sure doesn't say what the actual method of passing this switch is, nor what file. I don't need to add an insmod command anywhere, pcmcia support is autoloaded at bootup. How does one pass commands such as this? praedor
