[Gllug] /proc/interrupts

[Tom Schutzer-Weissmann]

When my laptop is docked, inserting an orinoco wireless card causes the
machine to freeze completely as soon as the orinoco_cs driver is loaded.
When the laptop isn't docked, the driver loads successfully.

I got it into my head that this was to do with interrupt sharing,
although I can get 3 PCMCIA cards to work simultaneously (USB 2,
ethernet, modem). Is this likely, or a blind alley?

Also, could anyone explain what "1.0" is, assigned to IRQ 3 when the
laptop's undocked, or why IRQ 3 doesn't show up at all when the laptop's
docked?

I'm out of my depth on this one, please be kind.
Tom
