One more thing to note.  On laptops, almost all cardbus bridges can
directly set which interrupt to use as they are connected to the
"south bridge" and can thus use the old ISA mode of operation.  On pci
cards, you generally[*] don't have this connection, so you have to run
in PCI only mode. Since PCI only mode will work on both
configurations, we're trying to use it in preference to the direct
mapping of interrupts.

I don't know if that's what you are talking about being able to
directly route the interrupts or not, but it is something to bear in
mind.

expansion box via a jumper...
