i use IRQ 9 with other card without any problems but i found this quite
strange.. dmesg says:

  pcic0: controller 0 detecting irqs with mask 0xdeb8:..3..9..10..11..15

from options(4):

  options PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK=3Dmask

     Controls the allowable interrupts that may be used for PCMCIA devices.
     This mask is a logical-or of power-of-2s of allowable interrupts:

        IRQ Val      IRQ Val      IRQ Val       IRQ Val
         0  0x0001    4  0x0010    8  0x0100    12  0x1000
         1  0x0002    5  0x0020    9  0x0200    13  0x2000
         2  0x0004    6  0x0040   10  0x0400    14  0x4000
         3  0x0008    7  0x0080   11  0x0800    15  0x8000

but when i count OR for the values of IRQ 3, 9, 10, 11 and 15 i got:

1000000000000000 =3D 0x8000
0000100000000000 =3D 0x0800
0000010000000000 =3D 0x0400
0000001000000000 =3D 0x0200
0000000000001000 =3D 0x0008
----------------
1000111000001000 =3D 0x8e08, not 0xdeb8

am i missing something?

*sigh*
