	Alright. I was looking to put in a Sierra Aircard 555 PCMCIA card 
that would be REALLY rough on the IRQ needs, and wanted to try to give it 
all it needed.  I might not end up doing that anyway, but wanted to give it 
every chance possible.

	Well, atleast I know 5.2 will run on here. :) I'm back over to 4.9
right now.
