My problem with Cardbus appears to require a Cardbus patch to the kernel. 
People have had it with this and other ethernet Cardbus cards, with 
various versions of pcmcia-cs-3*.  The card is simply not found or 
assigned any IRQ.  cardmgr does detect when I remove the card.  I booted 
with it inserted then put it in and out a few times.

cardmgr -o

vendor 0xffff, device 0xffff (means it is not really found)
cs:  no valid ROM images found!
cardmgr:  unsupported card in socket 0  (or socket 1 if I move it)
no product info available
PCI id:  0xffff, 0xffff

If I take it out I get a message about cardbus being free.

It is supposed to tell me something about 3CCFE575BT-D and manfid and 
function 6 network adapter.

I need a Cardbus patch for kernel 2.4, I think.

I will look for a non-cardbus 10Mbit PCMCIA ethernet card instead.

This might require the cardbus patch?

Not recognized?

I also tried changing the first line after Card to the name of the card 
instead of just Network Adapter.

How would I use this method?
