Change eth0 irq

I have managed to get my wpc11 v3 wireless card going on an hp ze4300
with Mandrake 10.0 but it is very slow and eventually looses the ap. I
have tried drivers orinoco_cs and prism2_cs with the same result.

I noticed that my ehternet card (eth0) and the cardbus are both sharing
irq 11 so I'm trying to change eth0 to irq 6. I've tried 2 ways and in
both cases eth0 is still irq 11.

1: edited /etc/modules.conf to include
options eth0 natsemiirq=6

2: edited /etc/lilo.conf to include
append="ether=6,0x8c00,eth0"

dmesg was showing PCI: Using ACPI to assign IRQs. I had pci=useirqmask
in my append line and I took that out, but eth0 is always irq 11.

Thanks,
JHz

If the kernel is using ACPI to assign IRQs, I don't think it'll listen
to what you tell it to do.
In your append line, you should try adding 'acpi=off' and see if you
can get it to work using one of the solutions you posted.
Gook luck,

I added pci=noacpi to the append line and dmesg no longer reported using
ACPI to assign IRQs, still the same result. Also, my bios doesn't
have an option to turn of pnp os.

Well, now I'm out of ideas. The only thing I can suggest is (if you've
not already done so) is to look at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt in case you find
something.

Also,is APM on? Although I don't think it assigns IRQs, it might give
you trouble.
