I'm trying to get my ACER laptop to work right with
a no-name PCMCIA ne2000-clone card (an EP-210 according to
the back of the box...)

[This is 2.2.2-RELEASE.]

However; the pcicard probe seems to come back with some "interesting"
values - and nothing works... It doesn't seem that inserting a card
is triggering pccardd.

The probe comes back with:

  PC-Card Cirrus Logic PD672K (5 mem & 2 I/O windows)
  pcic: controller irq 5

which I don't quite understand; as I have the sound card set up
on irq #5.  (Could not getting the irq could be the reason why insertion
of a card isn't signaling pccardd...)

 I'm guessing the pcic interrupt was allocated at #5 because
I don't have the sound stuff configured yet - so the pcic code
simply took "the next one."  - But, the hardware is configured
so IRQ 5 is the sound card (via the bios) and I have "plug-and-play OS"
disabled...

 Does anyone have any suggestions?  Is there a way to specifically
allocate an IRQ to the PCI-card device?  If so, how do I determine
what my hardware is doing?

	 - Thanks -
