Cardbus problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the ENE CB1410 carbus controller. The cardbus controller (IRQ9) is being disabled by the kernel everytime I boot the computer. I have tried googling for an answer but the information I have found has gone way over my head.
Can someone please help me get to bottom of this as I can't use the wireless network card without it.

Here is the results of dmegs:

I will be eternally grateful is someone can shed some light on this

Thanks in advance,

i am in the middle of writing a script for this predicament, but in the meantime i found a nice book:

Hi Wizkid,
Thanks for the reply, I have got this problem sorted now, it seems it was a memory allocation error. A simple 'reserve=' in the kernel command line did the trick

Cheers,

Can you give more info of how to do this as I have the same problem with IRQ 11 and I have seen others having the same issue.

I use a 3Com PCMCIA card and for the weirdest thing, it causes the Network card to TX only but not receive for eth0.

It's a multifunction card.
This card has always worked fine for SuSE 8.3 and 9.1 but now has problems in SuSE 9.3 professional...

Hi,
Actually the kernel disabling IRQ 9 was caused by having a broken onboard wifi card and had nothing to do with not being able to get power to the external PCMCIA card (IRQ 11).
I was clutching at straws at the time
For PCMCIA problems I would suggest sending a email with any relevant information to the folks at linux-pcmcia. You can get the email address here: http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/l...o/linux-pcmcia
Hope you get the problem sorted.

Thanks for your reply Weaner

I have to check my settings in here as I never got an e-amil in regards to your reply.
Mine is a weird one.
The card is a multifunction card having modem and Ethernet. It is fully supported and always had worked right from the go in SuSE 8.3 and 9.1
That's why I couldn't believe that the Ethernet wouldn't work properly under 9.3. Modem still works.
Ethernet will TX but refuses to see anything coming back.
Having used Ethereal shows packages arriving at the other PC and it replying on the Ping. but the card just doesn't see the reply.
I went back to basics and used a crossover cable bypassing the switch and cable management. Having tested the crossover cable beforehand using another Laptop proved that it was OK.
In desperation I reloaded 9.1 and it worked straight away.
Back to 9.3...same thing.
Firewall is disabled and so is forwarding
It just drops the IRQ when you actually plug in the Network.
Done the disabling of ACPI during boot and also tried disabling ACPI IRQ routing during boot up...no go
During bootup the messages come up saying that their is already an instance of ifplugged running.
ethtool eth0 shows:
Settings for eth0
No data availeble

Anyway..just some background, it's got me stumped
