irq complication
hi,
i looked around already and had no luck finding anything.
Im trying ot install a wpc11v3 linksys wireless card, and i have been for about a week now.
Im near certain i have figured out my problem. When i plug in my card while knoppix is running, it crashes. When i plug it into the laptop and boot up, it loads the card and then crashes. Theres no way to run iwconfig or anything because my card crashes the system. I have to find a way to get the card to sit in the laptop without any crashing right. So im near certain it is a IRQ conflict between my PCI and another device. How can i configure my irq's running knoppix. knoppix is installed to my harddrive so i have no option to use any cheatcodes. everything i read pertains to cheatcodes and whatnot, and i have researched and i cant find any problems like this with IRQ's.
Im using a toshiba satellite 2540cds laptop. i checked the bios and there is no IRQ option in there. Also during hte boot option i see something lke irq error pci=irq something like that im not certain. I'll have to double check that.

Hello,
I have develop a driver for my hardware and now, I need to handle a IRQ but I does not work.
As I can understand, to handle a irq, it is necessary to make a request_irq(). If the return value is zero, ok, no problem to handle irq.
Here is a easy example of my driver:

EX(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual EX(4)
NAME
ex -- Ethernet device driver for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 and Pro/10+
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device ex
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_ex_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The ex driver provides support for Ethernet adapters based on the Intel i82595 chip.
On the ISA bus, the card will be searched for in the I/O address range 0x200 - 0x3a0. The IRQ will be read from the EEPROM on the card. For
correct operation Plug-N-Play support should be disabled.
On the PC Card bus, the card will be automatically recognized and configured.
HARDWARE
The ex driver supports the following Ethernet adapters:
o Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 ISA
o Intel EtherExpress Pro/10+ ISA
o Olicom OC2220 Ethernet PC Card
o Olicom OC2232 Ethernet/Modem PC Card
o Silicom Ethernet LAN PC Card
o Silicom EtherSerial LAN PC Card
DIAGNOSTICS
ex%d: Intel EtherExpress Pro/10, address %6D, connector %s The device probe found an installed card, and was able to correctly install the
device driver.
ex%d: WARNING: board's EEPROM is configured for IRQ %d, using %d The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
ex%d: invalid IRQ. The device probe detected an invalid IRQ setting.
SEE ALSO
arp(4), netintro(4), ng_ether(4), ifconfig(8)
HISTORY
The ex device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.
AUTHORS
The ex device driver was written by Javier Martin Rueda. The PC Card attachment was written by Mitsuru ISAWAKI and Warner Losh. This manual
page was written by David E. O'Brien.
BUGS
Currently the driver does not support multicast.
The Silicom EtherSerial card's serial port does not currently work. The Olicom OC2232 PC Card should work with the ex driver, but is cur-
rently completely broken.
