-.Sh MODES OF OPERATION
-The ISA device supports routing ISA interrupts only.
-You cannot share ISA interrupts.
-Every interrupt must be unique.
-.Pp
-The PCI device supports routing ISA or PCI interrupts.
-PCI interrupts are sharable.
-ISA interrupts are not sharable.
-PCI interrupts should be used unless your machine has a specific problem using
-them.
.Pp
-PCI interrupt routing is the default for PCI devices.
-Some older laptops require ISA interrupt routing to work properly.
-To enable ISA interrupt routing, you must set the tunable
-.Li hw.pcic.intr_path=1
-in
-.Pa /boot/loader.conf .
-For the present, unless you have a one slot machine, you should set
-.Li hw.pcic.irq=0
-to force polling mode.
-Two slot machines have minor issues with using an ISA interrupt for the
-CSC interrupt.
-.Sh TUNABLES
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Va hw.pcic.ignore_function_1
-Needed for some, improperly manufactured PCI cards made by Orinoco.
-It disables function 1 completely.
-Set to 0 to enable function 1.
-Set to 1 to disable function 1.
-This tunable generally should not be needed on laptops.
-The default is 0.
-.It Va hw.pcic.init_routing
-Some machines can tolerate interrupt routing selection at the cardbus
-bridge level.
-Others fail when you mess with these registers.
-Set to 1 to force the chipset to route via parallel PCI interrupts (as
-well as a few other little things).
-Setting to 0, the default, forces the code to leave these registers as the
-code finds them.
-Most laptops will not need to set this tunable.
-Many PCI cards with cardbus chips on them are believed to need this
-tunable set to 1.
-The default is 0.
-.It Va hw.pcic.intr_path
-Should PCI pcic devices route interrupts via ISA or PCI.
-A value of 1 means route via ISA.
-A value of 2 means route via PCI.
-This is ignored for the ISA device.
-Many older laptops do not have PCI BIOS implementations that
-.Fx
-can use to route interrupts properly.
-These laptops may need to set this to 1 and
-.Va hw.pcic.irq
-to a value
-(or 0 for polling).
-The default is 2.
-.It Va hw.pcic.irq
-Overrides the IRQ to use for ISA interrupt routing of the CSC or
-management interrupt.
-If you are using the ISA device, you can set this tunable, or use the
-.Cd "irq N"
-clause in config file.
-If you are using a PCI device in ISA interrupt mode (see
-.Va hw.pcic.intr_path ) ,
-then you must set the interrupt with this
-sysctl, or polling mode will be used.
-Due to limitations in the tunable system, only one interrupt can be selected
-for all cards.
-Systems with multiple PCI bridges that need to use ISA routing are encouraged
-to use polling mode on each of the cards.
-The default is 0.
-.It Va hw.pcic.ignore_pci
-Defaults to 0.
-Set to 1 to completely ignore the cardbus bridge.
-This may help some old laptops work.
-Setting to 1 on newer laptops will almost certainly fail.
.El
-.Sh HISTORY
-Too long to detail in the man page.
.Sh BUGS
-Too many to list.
-Some are the fault of the standard.
-Some are the fault of bad standard compliance.
-Some are Warner's fault.
+This does not work at all at the moment.
