My Atheros is using irq4.
If you are not using serial ports, is it possible to go into BIOS and not assign or reserve it.

Maybe this helps....
Code Sample
dsl@box:~$ cardctl config
Socket 0:
 Vcc 3.3V  Vpp1 3.3V  Vpp2 3.3V
 interface type is "cardbus"
 irq 11 [exclusive] [level]
 function 0:
Socket 1:
 not configured

Code Sample

dsl@box:~$ lspci
0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (AGP disabled) (rev 02)
0000:00:02.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1250 (rev 02)
0000:00:02.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1250 (rev 02)
0000:00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2200 [MagicGraph 256AV] (rev 20)
0000:00:06.0 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02)
0000:00:06.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)
0000:00:06.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01)
0000:00:06.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02)
0000:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Illegal Vendor ID: Unknown device 0013 (rev 01)

but why is the card detected as "Illegal Vendor ID: Unknown device 0013 (rev 01) ?

maybe thats the solution, a thinkpad is involved there too and the guy solved it...but for a prism54 card. Seems that I got to find the file were I can change that for the atheros...

My Atheros works great. Mine is shown exactly the same way. Unknown device 0013 (Rev 01)

If you do a lspci -vv and look for irq
Mine shows Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 4

Many times plugging more modern hardware (wireless pcmcia)  in older laptops will result in irq conflict. irq 3 and irq 4 are usually for serial ports.

Or it could be a thinkpad issue.

ahh now i got it...
the usb controller and the atheros  pcmcia card got the same IRQ. And the BIOS for the Thinkpads can not assign IRQs...
hmm, maybe there another way.
I keep trying.
