Hi,
The next release of Debian (6.0, code name Squeeze) will be based
on 2.6.32. Please test the current 2.6.32 from unstable and tell
us whether the problem persists. If so, we should report it upstream
to the kernel.org developers.

The 2.6.32 kernel is available from packages.debian.org and can
be installed in both Debian stable, testing and unstable
installations.

Thanks,
Moritz

At 2010-01-12 update of the Toshiba 4000CDS 
to Squeeze with kernel 2.6.32 was completed 
and the Cardbus USB adapter was tested.

The repeating error message mentioned at 
2009-08-12 is gone.  Yet there is now an 
error message when the Belkin FD5050 
USB-Ethernet adapter is plugged in and 
an another message when the USB mouse is 
added.  If the mouse is plugged while the 
second USB socket is vacant, there is no 
error message and the mouse works OK, in 
my brief observation.  X logs a few error 
messages; one mentioning the IOCTL for 
the mouse.

The earlier error screen is now visible here.

The current screen is here.

My poorly qualified conclusion is that at 
least one problem remains in a PCMCIA driver, 
in a USB driver or in the Pegasus driver; 
a problem might also exist in udev.

Moritz, you are better qualified than I am 
to report upstream.  If you prefer that I 
issue the report, just let me know.

Regards,  ... Peter E.

I suspect that the Cardbus USB adapter or the power supply to the
Cardbus slot may be faulty.  Do other Cardbus cards work properly in
this slot?  Can you test the adapter in a Windows system (after
installing any Windows driver that came with it)?

Ben.

Folk,

The problem with this Belkin adapter is now 
worse than when originally reported.  At startup 
in Squeeze, error messages repeat for a few 
minutes at least.  Visible here.
