Well I visited the kernel parameters and turned on

options PCI_IRQS_HINT=0x00a00
options DEBUG
options PNPBIOSDEBUG

anyway when I ran the new kernel with the configs

the modem came up as irq 5 and so did the stray interrupt.

anyway the modem dialed and I was happy.

Manuel

will try the

options PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK=0x0c00 later tonight.

Now I must get my xircom back from my girlfriendf and see it works, then I also have
my 100mb card working also. The xircom 2-ps worked.

Now must get rid of stray interrupt.

Happy

Joseph
