Will try to asap. No, I didn't do this beyond the trivial non-hang case test.

Yes, I tried this and it works in as much as I now get pcic working, pc card
insertion works (and removal) I get no hangs, but I still get (NULL) (NULL)
card recognition and I don't think I understand (yet) how to get a free irq
or make a free irq on this box, so I can allocate it to the pccard under the
pcic controller now on 5. 5 is one of the irqs that pccard.conf tries to use
to allocate to its 'children' so I assume I now have to (a) override that
in the /etc/pccard.conf and (b) find another one to use..

Ok. Thats worth persuing. I've nver used USB, so I don't mind doing without it
but it does beg the question: what does somebody who NEEDS usb do, if they
also need to use pcmcia? How does windeath manage this?

Very much so. Thanks for the feedback.
