Default Aptiva with wireless - 01-29-2006 , 08:36 PM






I'm trying to install a Linksys wireless pci adaptor card in my Aptiva
2139-se7 without success. Linksys says I have 2 devices with the same IRQ.
I've verified the conflict but don't know how to change IRQ. Any Ideas?AlG

Could you perhaps disable a device, even temporarily, to free up an IRQ ?
One which you might be able to disable is the USB port if you never use it.
This hogs up an IRQ, at least on my 2140.

Albert,

Have you tried a different PCI slot, if available? You could take a
look at this page to see if it helps:

Otherwise, list your IRQs and whats using them and maybe somebody can
see something that can be changed.
