I have been trying to get a wireless PCI network card going and have
noticed that evrything shares the same IRQ

My card is a DWL-520 and have tried both the latest hostap and wlan-ng
drivers. The card is prism 2.5 based and  is revision E1.

The card works fine under windows which uses anyone of upto 32 irq
lines. Linux still only uses 16.

When the driver loads for the wireless card, it complains about IRQ
beind shared by two cards and lists the pci device id's.

Any ideas anyone ???
