You will find that the problem is an irq problem, look at the /proc/interrupts
if you have 'windows' 'ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hate that word'
find out the irq for this card
then in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts use the exclude command to force your
card to use the correct irq number
ie: if your card needs irq 7 and you had irq's 5,7,8,3 left for the system to give out type
exclude irq 5
exclude irq 8
exclude irq 3
not the best example as the sound card will normally use 5, but I hope that you get the picture.
do cardctl ident, cardctl config, this will show you if the card is recognized by the system as the card or just a pcmcia 'card' ready if it doesn't show your card then you need to re compile a new driver and hack the /etc/pcmcia/config file. - I hope for your sake its the latter.
Please also remember that after excluding the irq's its always best to reboot.. had some problems stoping and starting pcmcia so I would suggest doing the reboot, also remember that if you haven't entered static ip information for the card into netcfg or linuxconf then on exectuting ie: ifconfig eth0 up, this will automatically start the dhcpcd, or pump , demons... if this works then....
You have exercised the demons, the house is safe for return.... (sorry too much coffee)... :-)
