If I turn off my wireless card during boot up there are no IRQ conflicts. After it's booted and the card is turned on there aren't any conflicts. It just works. I'm open to suggestions on what I can do to "fix" the IRQ's so it allows me to boot with the card on, but for now, I'm happy with the solution. Kevin -- Kevin Old kevinold@xxxxxxxxx
