You're having the same problem that I had with a Samsung card (which is
basically the same as the compaq) - It never asks for an IRQ because in
Windows it wouldn't need one.
Mark pointed me to the fact that the CIS is outdated. I'm sure that you
could get the updated info from either Compaq or Samsung, but I just started
using a defferent card altogether.

notice that your /proc/interrupts doesn't list any IRQ's used by prism2_cs
after you start PCMCIA.

hope that helps

Vlad
