Based on my reading thus far, that's the problem as I see it too.  I'm trying
to find out
how to set the interrupts.   Not sure where to set them though.  Looking
through my
current kernel config (LINT and default too) and pccard.conf doesn't seem to
give me the info I need or I'm
missing something.  I'm not a freebsd expert, (networking background) so any
help is
appreciated.  Thanks for your input.
