What I forgot to tell is that I use current on this machine for two months now and up to about four weeks ago I got this message on inserting the card (without any crackles from the speakers): cbb alloc res fail cardbus0: at device 0.0 (no driver attached) I did some searches on the net for this message, and some people could get their card recognized, when they disabled ACPI on boot. However this did not work for me.
