pci-pcmcia bridge IRQ problem

Dear hostap community,

I am running hostap 0.2.0 for experimentation purposes on a few RH Linux
boxes. A couple of them need be PowerEdge servers with ServerWorks
motherboard and controllers. My problem is that no IRQ is being assigned
to a TI 1410 pcmcia bridge.

Up until now, I have tried adding 'pci=biosirq', and disabling the apic.
Still, I am receiving "resource in use" from orinoco_cs module. I will
switch to a hostap-compatible Prism2 card after making the bridge work.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Mustafa
