Sounds like this is a problem for the whole 40xx series. I've got a
4000CDT with the same trouble. There's a bit of info from someone who
had similar problems after upgrading kernels (or adding APMd, he's not
sure). The info is the following URL:

Updating the pcmcia-cs doesn't seem to do any good, and I don't know
enough to do either of the other two suggestions.
