Try going to your bios and setting the PCMCIA adapter to Cardbus/16bit
instead of Auto. The Toshiba Topic chipsets are buggy, change their PCI
identifiers with different bios settings, and are just a plain pain in the
ass to get working. Then use the yenta driver (preferrably in kernel), and
I think you will find it works now. :)

Bas Vermeulen, who has had some bad experiences with Toshiba laptops. And
it's impossible to get specs for em too.
