I had to look to the windows cardbus device properties to get it work,
but i think that by playing with some values you can get it working too
without needing that crappy OS.

My Excuse: The reason i looked into windows whas that i was setting
up a laptop whith the host_ap module support and i needed it working
for giving a wireless talk and had no time to play. :-)

I can only give you this link where the problem is referenced and
have some instructions to guess wich memory addresses to reserve for the
cardbus.
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/doc/PCMCIA-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.5

No. I think kernel does not change anything. Maybe is that the
kernel fits a region of memory originally reserved for the cardbus as is
defined in config.opts. Maybe because those new kernel are a few Kb
bigger than before one's.

Remembering this thing makes me think that this "issue" is more a
pcmcia_cs thing than a kernel/driver one.

Hope it helps you or any other developer/list__member here.

PD: Excuse my poor english.
