Bridge problem might occur because you have more than one ethernet card
and the pcmcia card is placed in a slot after this extra card. So ad-hoc
solution is to remove that extra card and put pcmcia card in that slot.

Hi,
Please, please, help me! I posted this at several places and
I still have no answer.
I would like to know if the problem I encounter can be
fixed:
I upgraded the system memory from 192 MB to 512 MB.
The system clearly detected the upgrade and linux booted.
However, at the cardmgr step, cardmgr complains not
finding an entry in /proc/devices for pcmcia (which is
correct). I checked with /var/log/syslog and apparently
the problem appears before, because of a bridge mapping
problem.
Hmmm this is untrodden territory as far as our knowledge
database goes. bad bridge mapping sounds like a BIOS
assumption, but just for laughs, try the enterprise kernel. If
that works, then I have a bug report to file.

This problem occurs with 256+64,256+128,256+256, but not 192
or 256 MB. The Multifunction Card I have is the
XIRCOM Realport Ethernet 10/100-56K, known as REM56-100BTX
With 192 MB (when it's OK), the syslog message goes like this:
