Old question Surely..
Hi, folks Using Debian Lenny OS with 2.6.28.2-486 kernel. I have a very old DEC VP575 laptop which I want to use as back-up server. I need two net connections. When I use a single pccard, wired, all is well. If I insert my second card, WIFI-Intersil Prism2.5 I get the following /var/log/messages error: pcmcia: request for exclusive IRQ couuld not be fulfilled. pcmcia: the driver needs updating to supported shared IRQ lines Can someone point me to a link which addresses this and fixes it? Or is more info needed? TIA Jack ___ Linux PCMCIA reimplementation list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pcmcia

I did a quick check of the kernel source, but failed to find it. If the driver does not check that the interrupt was for another driver on the shared line, then there will be an additional change.

Problem with exclusive interrupt in hostap_cs
Jouni, This was posted on the PCMCIA mailing list by Jack Schneider: Hi, folks Using Debian Lenny OS with 2.6.28.2-486 kernel. I have a very old DEC VP575 laptop which I want to use as back-up server. I need two net connections. When I use a single pccard, wired, all is well. If I insert my second card, WIFI-Intersil Prism2.5 I get the following /var/log/messages error: pcmcia: request for exclusive IRQ couuld not be fulfilled. pcmcia: the driver needs updating to supported shared IRQ lines The two drivers being loaded are hostap_cs and xirc2ps_cs. The latter one is coded to handle shared interrupts, but hostap_cs is not. I would have no problem changing the driver interrupt registration in the link-irq structure, but I was not quite sure how change prism2_interrupt() to detect the shared case when the interrupt status register is 0x. Could you please take a look at this? Thanks, Larry ___ Linux PCMCIA reimplementation list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pcmcia

Another option would be for Jack to try the orinoco_cs driver. //Peter ___ Linux PCMCIA reimplementation list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pcmcia
