I think we may have an IRQ conflict on our server. I would like second opinions on this from anyone who might know. Personally I think that there is a conflict for IRQ 7 which may be attempted to be used by both ECP(printer port) and ParPort_Pc(??). Anyone have any idea of the part below?

Sep 4 09:12:04 secure kernel: eth0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0xb400, 00:01:03:d2:55:60, IRQ 11

I had suggested turning off the ecp port in the biops since it isnt in use so as to free up IRQ's. I am looking for second opinions.
