My apologies to anyone who is also subscribed to freebsd-mobile. All I want to 
know is how can I overide the irq that pccardd is allocating to my pcmcia 
modem. Can anyone enlighten me?

Presently, I have removed M$ software from my machine and am using Gentoo 
Linux and am trying to set FreeBSD. There are only two things that are 
preventing me from getting rid of Gentoo (it is pretty good but not the most 
stable) and moving to a pure BSD system. One problem is that which I have 
described below; the other is my the system locking up ~5 seconds after 
getting into Xwindows. I have an Nvidia chipset and am trying to use the beta 
driver (for mesa support) and haven't had a chance to really figure out that 
problem yet, but if I can't get semi-decent speeds from my modem (really a 
wireless internet card) then I'll have to throw BSD away. PLEASE don't make 
me do that; it seems to be very stable and ridiculously fast.
