Orinoco/watchdog timeout - IDE IRQ?

[Oliver Oberdorf]

The plot thickens:

OK, in my crappy BIOS I can reassign 4 IRQs, but they don't say what 
they are for.  Turns out, whatever the 2nd IRQ is set to gets picked up 
for the Orinoco.  It's normally 5, but using 3 or 9 just results in the 
card grabbing that same value.

I tried disabling it in the BIOS and the machine utterly fails to boot 
after hitting the disk.  So I strongly suspect it's some sort of IDE IRQ.

I put it back on 5 and made an /etc/pccard.conf that now looks like:

irq   3 9 15

card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
    config 0x1 "wi" 9
    insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
    remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop

and it still grabs IRQ 5.  The dmesg is now:

...
wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 5 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
...
wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE


 Is there a config entry for IRQs to never take?  Or some way to force 
it to use 9 no matter what?
