I think I had just such a conflict in the previous set up (not exactly sure 
but the  video card and a PCI<->PCMCIA bridge were sharing an IRQ and the 
bridge wasn't working properly). 

This prompted me to press the old pentium box into service. After two days of 
fiddling I have now got my Compaq WL200 card to run in host-AP mode and I 
feel great :->

(I am node electra on http://www.consume.net if anyone else lives in N4)
