Hi,
i just noticed with 2.5.75 that if I boot with the cisco airo 340 wifi
card in, this kernel thinks it is a memory card. when i remove it and
re-insert it after boot, it then works .... see the following log :) I
am running debian unstable, on an ibm t21 pIII-850 notebook

the cisco card works at boot time using 2.5.70.

as for the two patches for the pcmcia hang, this time i am running the
one Russell posted, but the result is the same for the other.

as i shutdown i get a number of kernel stack dumps related to airo_stat,
but the machine reboots before i can do anything about them..(what do i
need to log them?)

if i replace the cisco card with a dlink orinoco card, it get recognised
correctly at boot.=20

to make this story more interesting, i put the thinkpad into the docking
station and the cisco card into the dock's pccard (something that has
locked up 2.5 every time that i tried it), and the card is recogised
correctly at boot, and runs fine (there was a kernel stack dump during
boot - *what do i need to do to get them logged?*)

thanks for the great work!
