Hi David,

I've got a Cardbus Ethernet DLink DFE660 network card. lspci says:

23:00.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip
21142/43 (rev 41)

With 2.2.15 and Pcmcia 3.1.14 everything works fine. I just tried
kernel 2.3.99-6, but somehow I don't get this combination to work.
I select pcmcia kernel tree suport and choose only cardbus support.

May 5 15:54:31 frodo kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of
device 00:0a.0. Please try using pci=biosirq.
May 5 15:54:31 frodo kernel: Yenta IRQ list 0c98, PCI irq0
May 5 15:54:31 frodo kernel: Socket status: 30000006
May 5 15:54:31 frodo kernel: Adding cardbus controller 1: Texas
Instruments PCI1250 (#2)
May 5 15:54:31 frodo kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of
device 00:0a.1. Please try using pci=biosirq.
May 5 15:54:31 frodo kernel: Yenta IRQ list 0c98, PCI irq0

If I compile pcmcia directly into the kernel(not as module), the card is
initialized, I can see the Ln/act LED blinking, but I can't access it via
ifconfig.

Trying to start the network via /etc/init.d/pcmcia start just gives
May 5 15:56:26 frodo cardmgr[818]: initializing socket 1
May 5 15:56:26 frodo cardmgr[818]: socket 1: Linksys EtherFast 10/100
May 5 15:56:27 frodo cardmgr[818]: module
/lib/modules/2.3.99-pre6/pcmcia/cb_enabler.o not available
May 5 15:56:27 frodo cardmgr[818]: module
/lib/modules/2.3.99-pre6/pcmcia/tulip_cb.o not available
May 5 15:56:28 frodo cardmgr[818]: get dev info on socket 1 failed:
Resource temporarily unavailable

Trying kernel pcmcia as module makes it even worse. If you like, I can
assemble the error messages. But there are just lots of "module or device
busy" errors, especially loading ds clashes somehow with pcmcia_core.

Cheers, Alex
