Hi,

maybe is an off toppic, but probably some like me has this issue. I have a 
mainboard with several PCI and two PCIe. I can configure the PCIe to use with 
rtnet and xenomai without any important problem.

The mobo has an eth and firewire and vga incorporated, so the pci are free. 
But now, I would like to add a pci network card. I have three:
- on for our environtment
- two for the rtnet (two robot controlers)

and then I would like to have 4
- one for another network

The problem that I have and I don't know how to solve is that the new pci 
network card share an irq with another device. So, in my case, I have  
problems with this. With rtnet, I solve this using pcie devices, but now I 
cannot.

I have configure the xenomai kernel following the FAQ, and I have tested to 
assign an IRQ in the BIOS. But I have not be able to make the interface 
works. I have delays in the interface, and google says ;-) that is a problems 
of sharing IRQs with the eth. And I believe in that ...

So, thinking that I would like to use this eth in a normal environment (not 
rtnet,) but in a box using xenomai, some of you have some "magical" idea, 
kernel parameter, etc to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Leo
