    Hi, I'm brand new to Linux and seem to be having a problem. I have
    installed Red Hat 9 on my Sony GRV 680 Laptop, everything seems to be
    working ok but the PCMCIA cards. I have an Orinoco 802.11 b gold card
    and RH 9 doesn't recognize it at all. When booting I've noticed the
    message " No known IRQ for interrupt pin B of device 02:05.1. Please try
    using pci=biosirq." Which (from my experience with dos and windows)
    tells me that there must be an IRQ problem with the PCMCIA slot of some
    kind" I have tried excluding various irq's in config.opts but nothing
    seems to help. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to correct
    this situation I would appreciate it. Thanks...
