ipw2200: Error allocating IRQ 0

Asked by yannis

Hi , i use a laptop Medion MIM 2080 with a wifi card Intel 2915ABG.
I don't use APIC because it freeze the laptop.
But it looks like there is a IRQ problem with the wifi ! (With ACPI , it has IRQ 18.)
I can provide you more infos , if you need.
Regards.
