You can create them or remove them at will.

This is a relatively common. You need to find out which IRQs are free, and which don't conflict with your Orinoco card. > Now this is a triple booted laptop and I've confirmed that the > SanDisk, CompactFlash PC Card Holder works with Linux, Great. You're more than half way there. > Windows_ME and now the final hurdle is FreeBSD. OK, take a look at the IRQs that Linux assigns to the Orinoco and the CF card. You can then create or change your /etc/pccard.conf to include the lines (these are in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf): # Generally available IRQs (Built-in sound-card owners remove 5) irq 3 5 10 11 13 15 Note the comment; I don't trust it too much, but it could be the sound card conflicting. Change the IRQs to include only the IRQs the system uses in Linux. Restart pccardd. That may be all you need to do. If not, come back and we'll continue. > When setting up my wirless Orinoco card FreeBSD was by far the > easiest, with Linux second (recompile kernel) This relates to my experience. I've spent some time on this issue with Debian in the last couple of days. A whole lot of us OzLabs people got the same new laptop and wireless card. It worked out of the box in FreeBSD, but Debian didn't have the module needed, so it needed to be compiled. I don't think you need to build a new Linux kernel.
