I have looked through dmesg and kde infocenter, and I see several interesting things. before loading bttv 1. sound card au8810 and usb ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd sharing irq 3 2. uhci_hcd and via rhine network adapter sharing irq 11 after modprobe bttv 1. uhci_hcd, via rhine network adapter, and bttv sharing irq 11 Nowhere in my bios settings do I find a place to manually assign an irq to a specific pci slot. It only says irq XX reserved for pci.
