RE: [K12OSN] loading order of pcmcia driver

Well I have found out why my network card only works every other boot. I did a cat/proc/irq and this indicates that I have two devices that are sharing IRQ 10. the first device is the USB ports on a Texas instruments PCI1420 and the second device is eth0. how can I disable the USB ports in Fedora. The laptop that I have this on is a Toshiba 1750 and the BIOS will not allow me to disable the USB ports. The only way I can figure out how to fix this is to reinstall with a PCMCIA laptop boot disk, but is there an easier way?

Thanks

Thanks, That worked great. It appears I have another issue hardware. I have the PCMCIA card device listed two times under the harware browser. the network connection does not work the first time I boot up but always works the second time. It appears that the first hardware profile of the pcmcia is not correct and the second one is. the device is a pci1420. How can I remove the first profile of the PCI1420

thanks
