Experience across a number of cards on a number of machines (both |
| 2 |
running 2.4 and early 2.6 kernels) says otherwise - and its not working |
| 3 |
so its worth a try! In fact, I cant remember it ever working without |
| 4 |
the irq option, even if the card uses "auto". This brings up another |
| 5 |
memory - some cards refuse to work under auto, or plugnplay setting |
| 6 |
(planet I think in my case), I had to force a fixed IRQ with a jumper |
| 7 |
(nominally the same as the auto seemed to be). |
