The IRQ used for the hard drive and the wireless card is one and the same. You dont need that. You need separate IRQs for the HD and the wireless card.You need to block that IRQ from being captured by the PCMCIA controller.
look at 'dmesg' and start with the IRQs of your IDE controller. Do the same with cardmgr or the cardutils.
Usually IRQ 11 is set aside for the PCMCIA controller but you are having a conflict with IRQ 7.
Somehow, you have to correct the IRQ steering so your hard drive does not disappear.
My BIOS settings have nothing for IRQ adjustments (this is an economy laptop, $499 from Dell). Is there a way to correct the IRQ steering through Linux? And is it possible to do that even for the boot CD? Thanks -- Paul
