I think this is the last of the problems I have encountered. This laptop uses a ricoh cardbus controller lspci -v 00:03.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c478 (rev 03) Subsystem: Ricoh Co Ltd: Unknown device 0478 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168 Memory at <ignored> (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Bus: primary=00, secondary=20, subordinate=22, sec-latency=176 I/O window 0: 00000000-00000003 I/O window 1: 00000000-00000003 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0007

The laptop is an NEC Versa SX (pII 300). I have a 3com cardbus 10/100 nic and a xircom pccard ethernet+modem33.6 card.
On the 3com card, ftping a file (184mb) at 100mbit causes an error. Copying that same file over nfs does not happen. According to my hub, bandwidth utilization is >40% (40 is as high as the hub's meter goes). After the error the system is frozen. If I eject the card, I get an oops (Sorry, can't copy it, it was so long that it went off the screen and the system wouldn't respond to scrolling). No oops's are in the log unfortunately.
Here's the error: eth0: Host error, FIFO diagnostic register 0000. This message repeats 21 times eth0: Too much work in interrupt, status 8003. Temporarily disabling functions (7ffc).
The ftp and copy was done from the same file to the same directory.
On the xircom card, the system freezes when inserting the card. No oops or anything. Ejecting the card does an oddity to the screen. Column 1 starts at the middle. SysRQ doesn't work. I tried using the pcmcia modules from pcmcia v3.1.5 which had the same problem. pcmcia 3.1.1 worked with this card.
