Subject:   2 inserts to get WaveLAN (wi) card to work?

Hi,

I have a NEC Versa laptop that seems to have a problem with 802.11b (wi) cards
when they are inserted for the first time after a reboot. I first had this
problem under 4.3-STABLE, and hoped it would go away when I cvsup'd to
4.4-STABLE 2 days ago, unfortunately the behavior persists.

/etc/pccard.conf has just:

irq     8 10 11 13

The first time I insert a wi card (same behaviour for Lucent Gold and Dlink
650), the driver allocation fails. Removing the card and reinserting it makes
it work fine...(if I try a wired ethernet xe card, it works fine on the first
insert after a "watchdog timer reset"):

Oct 14 17:15:17 <kern.crit> netpunk /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0

anyone have hints? fixes?

Thanks,
Adi
