I had this problem around 4.3- or 4.4-RELEASE, where only the first slot
was working. Yes Warner did fix it.
I am running 4.5-STABLE from Feb-10th (need to cvsup!) with a Cirrus Logic
PD6729 chipset on an IBM ThinkPad 560e laptop and I am using OLDCARD (I
think, I honestly don't have a clue how to use NEWCARD unless it is
default for this release, but I do not think so .. it just works :)).
I have the exact same cards as Drew (3C589D and a Lucent Silver) and they
work flawlessly together. I am using the default routing (PCI) method.
I've pasted a kernel config and dmesg output incase it's any help.
