Not necessarily.  Many of the PC Card/CardBus bridges list IRQ 6 as
'reserved' and might not work (hmmm, that's in ISA mode, so maybe
not).  It might also be that IRQ 6 isn't setup right to be a PCI
interrupt.  Maybe the south bridge has a floppy controller in it, even
if your laptop doesn't have a floppy drive.
