I think that this is not this card problem.

I have laptop (x86_64 - Acer Aspire 1524 WLMI) with yenta and usb 2.0 
(onboard not cardbus). It has yenta and USB on the same IRQ (11 too).
When I try to load USB module (even with yenta removed from /lib/modules) 
I get similar problem.

I hacked it somehow - probably disabling ACPI and maybe APIC, and passing 
tons of strange options to the kernel (and maybe even compiling only usb 
1.1 support in? - I do not remember - I was in hurry to get my mouse 
working before Xmas...)

But I will bet that ACPI has something to this.

I believe I described this problem (offlist) in mail to Greg KH, but I got 
no response (maybe it didn't get there?). I can post this mail to the list 
if you think you need it. There were some details like my logs, my 
configurations etc.

BTW. Does anybody knows why APIC on this laptop sends my (onboard) Realtek 
1000 Mbps network card to IRQ 169 or something like that (of course 
making it unusable until reboot with noapic)???
