[SOLVED] New wifi card causes second parallel port to stop working

I do have ethernet, and I do have a reason for needing wifi in addition. The camera I'm adding to the spindle sends video via wifi.

Below is dmesg output with the wifi card installed. Without it, I think everything is the same except the second card is addressed 0xdcc0 instead of 0xacc0. I can try that later if needed.

Tommylight, I do have the means to change the MB parallel port address. Sounds like something to experiment with, thanks. I have swapped slots for the wifi card and the second parallel port card, same result.

I did verify that the wifi card is known to work with Linux. I don't see why LinuxCNC would care (or know anything) about the wifi card. Any issue here?

$ dmesg | grep parport
[ 7.560447] parport_pc 00:03: reported by Plug and Play ACPI
[ 7.560518] parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
[ 7.665553] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).

I remembered there is a wifi PCIe card (different brand) in my desktop which won't be missed. I put it in the CNC computer and now it all works.
I also did a latency test. This is with 5 glxgears plus YouTube running a psychedelic video, plus streaming from my RPi camera. Pretty much the same as I had back in March.

In addition to my machine config described in the first post, my graphics card is a Radeon Firepro V5800. 

Thanks for the comments,
Steve
