pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
pcmcia: request for exclusive IRQ could not be fulfilled.
pcmcia: the driver needs updating to supported shared IRQ lines.


i get this when inserting my option card. i was told on this list that
this causes my problem.
i am not an expert but in serial_cs.c is :
        link->irq.Attributes = IRQ_TYPE_EXCLUSIVE;
in serial_probe    function
