Sorry, I said that badly. Is the problem sharing interrupts an SPL
between the two NICS (which can also happily share an interrupt),
*and* the Adaptec, which needs to run at a different spl level?
Your 20 aic7880 chips might have the same problem as Darren, if they
had to share the interrupt with a NIC too. Then again maybe not.
