How do I free an IRQ
for use by the cable
modem?
One way you may be able to free the IRQ your modem needs is to disable
any on-board serial ports that are not in use. If you have serial ports on
your system that are not currently in use, disable them using your
computer's documentation as a guide. Write down your computer's IRQ
configuration (i.e. which devices are using which IRQs) before making any
changes and note the changes you make. Once you have the free IRQ
necessary to begin installation, turn to the chapter titled “Cable Modem
Hardware Installation".
