Sorry I was being overly terse. I wanted to know exactly what the pccard.conf entry looked like; eg, this is the generic one for that card: # Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100), model V2 and V3 card "Linksys" "/Ether[Ff]ast 10/100 PC Card \(PCMPC100.*\)/" config auto "ed" ? 0x80000 insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop The "?" in the second field *should* cause IRQs to be assigned from the "irq" line in pccard.conf, if you have one, so that different IRQs can be assigned for the two cards. However, you can still have a problem if they both pick the same config options from the card; the "auto" should do the right thing. You can do pccardc dumpcis to get the actual information from the card itself, and pccard enabler <options> to try out different options on a on-off basis to try to get things working; then you can patch whatever works into /etc/pccard.conf. Hope this is helpful. I've cc'ed the list in case anybody else wants to add some insights. "A.
