Extended IRQ's

Is there any way of making ECS 2.0 recognize and use extended IRQ's? I'm in bad need of IRQ 19! This is on a Toshiba Satellite M45-S165 Laptop. The Cardbus adapter is hardwired to IRQ 19.

Did you read the ACPI documentation to see if it is mentioned?

There is a program for changing PCI IRQ's, but have no idea if it can be used for your needs.

Thanks for the response David, Turns out I was incorrect in saying this was an ECS problem. It is actually a problem with a piece of software (CBENABLE_TEST) I'm trying to install that can't cope with a IRQ=19. There is another program called SPciIRQ which is capable of solving this problem, unfourtanatly is doesn't work with the ATI chipset in my Laptop. So it looks like I'm out of luck when it comes to installing any of the new Cardbus WiFi PCMCIA network adapters supported by GENNMAC. So for now I'll have to be satisfied with the 16 bit CISCO 350!
