Try to comment ALL the "include" sections, and then uncomment them step by step. When I had problems with my card, I search in the kernel and I found in the file "drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.c" the following code : /* * Only probe "regular" interrupts, don't * touch dangerous spots like the mouse irq, * because there are mice that apparently * get really confused if they get fondled * too intimately. * * Default to 11, 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3. */ static u32 isa_interrupts = 0x0ef8; I changed the "0x0ef8" into "0x0000", the card used the IRQ of the pcmcia socket to communicate with the kernel, and did not disturb the other devices. > > Claus > Nicolas.
