I have a miniPCI wireless card and it works ok, in the sense that i can run a looped wget someUrl -O /dev/null for hours and no crash happens. I've tested the CF card on a USB CF card reader and works too (other computer though as the crashing one doesn't have USB ports). Sadly i don't have more CF cards to test in the miniPCI->CF adapter. > > > Is it possible to work around IRQ problems?
