: 
: LinkSys Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard (Model EC2T) [dongle with RJ-45 and BNC]
: LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (Model PCMPC100) [dongle with RJ-45]

I have both of these cards and have run them with shared interrupts
under oldcard.  The second one I did on my PCG-505TS.

: : No.  You are confusing '16-bit bridge (aka ISA)' and '16-bit PC
: : Card' (aka PCMCIA or R2 cards).  The classic 16-bit bridge support
: : is for ISA bridges only.  Since you are probing and attaching to
: : cbb, you must have a 32-bit cardbus bridge.  I have a large

: Hmmm ... wonder if it's possible that it's the bridge in my Vaio
: PCG-505TR that doesn't like the shared interrupt.  Might that explain
: the odd panic with the Adaptec SlimSCSI 1460D under 5.1-RELEASE (see
: initial message in this thread)?

I know that the bridge in the vaio PCG-505TS can share interrupts.
I've run my wi0 based card directly from boot.  5.1-RELEASE likely
will have problems.  There is a problem right now with removing the
card that I'm looking into fixing.
