Hi all,
this is my first post and my first attempt at FreeBSD.
I just bought a used Sharp Mebuis PC-PJ1, along with a Melco LPC2-T 
ethernet card, and  have a problem with IRQ (from what I've gathered on 
different googled posts).
The ed1 device times out and I cannot get it to work, it seems it stems 
from the fact that both the Ricoh RL5C475 cardbus controller and the 
card are on IRQ3.
I've recompiled my kernel specifying the IRQs (don't know if that makes 
a difference, I gave it a shot nonetheless), I've modified /etc/rc.conf; 
/etc/pccard.conf as well as /boot/loader.conf (according to this post: 
<http://www.clave.gr.jp/ml/bsd-nomads/200111/msg00029.html> but I don't 
understand it very well) to no avail, and I've finally checked with boot 
-c to change the IRQs. No go, they always come back to 3.
Why it that so, and what can I do?
If  more details are needed I'll be happy to provide them.
Cheers
cyril
PS: this thread also seems to address the problem, but I do not 
understand the solution:
