Major problem with PCMCIA/Yenta system

[Ron Gage]

Greetings:

I have been trying to get a recently acquired Cardbus based USB 2.0 card 
working under 2.6 for the past weekend.  It's not going well.

Everytime I plug the card into the computer, the entire PCMCIA system just 
dies, taking my network connectivity with it.  I have to do a power off reset 
to recover.

The cardbus card is based on the ALI USB chipset.  This shows up as both an 
EHCI and an OHCI device under 2.6.11.5.  My laptop, an older HP Pavilion 
N5150 has a UHCI based chipset:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (rev 
03)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX AGP bridge (rev

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 
(rev 41)


My ethernet card is a generic cardbus device.

When I insert the new USB 2.0 card, the kernel reports that it's killing off 
IRQ 11.  Here is the actual dump from dmesg:

Mar 20 18:38:16 port2 kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:06:00.0: Unlink after no-IRQ?  
Controller is probably using the wrong IRQ.

Again, when the USB card in inserted, the entire PCMCIA system shuts down and 
remains unusuable until powered off.

Kernel is stock 2.6.11.5.  I also tried with 2.6.11, 2.6.10, 2.6.9 and 2.6.7 - 
same result.  Distribution is Slackware 9.1 - gcc is 3.2.3

HELP!!!
