PCMCIA and interrupts
Applicable to
S.u.S.E. version: all
Kernel version: all
Symptom:
The PCMCIA driver only assigns to the PCMCIA slots the interrupts 11 and 12.
Since the built-in PS/2 mouse uses IRQ 12 as well, it cannot be
addressed as long as two PCMCIA cards are installed.
Cause:
According to David Hinds, the PCMCIA package's developer, the i82365
driver's interrupt detection code does not work properly.
Solution:
Influence the driver's behaviour by setting the variable
PCMCIA_PCIC_OPTS
in the file /etc/rc.config
to
the following value:
PCMCIA_PCIC_OPTS="do_scan=0 irq_mask=0xefff"

Keywords: PCMCIA, IRQ, INTERRUPT, PS2, MOUSE
