Ummm, what? What seems to indicate they are not using the same IRQ? The fact that they're both recognized? I believe this says nothing other than they're both there; it's up to you to say what to do with what was found. Barring *really* strange circumstances, 2.4.x _should_ be able to handle anything you throw at it. 2.6.x is way too young for a newbie to start slavering after. cat /proc/ioports " " interrupts lsmod grep $blah /var/log/messages [Hey Chuck!
