Resolving Resource Conflicts

The Sprint Mobile Broadband Card requires these system
resources:

1 IRQ.

4096 bytes of I/O space.

2 available communications ports (one modem, one serial).

If these resources are not available to the card, you have a resource
conflict. If another PC Card is installed, you may be able to free the
necessary resources simply by ejecting the other device.
Otherwise, you may need to disable another device (such as an
internal modem, infrared device, or network card) to resolve the
resource conflict. This section explains how to disable other
devices.
