[ltp] RequestIRQ: Resource in use

Finally I made my T21 to recognize the cards I insert.
I used the pcmcia drivers from pcmcia-cs package, and
had to set PCIC="i82365" in /etc/conf.d/pcmcia (I am using
gentoo linux).

Now my compaq wlan card is identified, but the device
fails to initialize. I get "RequestIRQ: Resource in use"
message and I don't know what to do to resolve the issue.
I searched google but I found no working answers. It looks
that many people think it is a orinoco driver issue. But I
get the same results for an aironet 4800 card, so I guess it
is not an orinoco driver problem.

Here is the relevant part of dmesg output:

Does anybody know what the problem is?

My guess is that I need to tweak the settings /etc/pcmcia/config.opts.
If anyone has pcmcia working with T21, please send me this file.

Thanks,
