If your system is this misconfigured, then ACPI or the BIOS needs to be fixed
and the driver really only needs to work well enough to get the bug report out 
;-)

Ok, thanks for the explanation.

Can you give any hints as to how we can classify this misconfiguration? Barry's system has a level triggered IRQ assigned to sky2, and that IRQ is not shared:

I'm just looking for something I can take to the ACPI developers, other than "its broken because Stephen said so" ;)

Thanks.
