PCMCIA on ThinkPad 755c: "anonymous memory"

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm trying to get a Belkin F5D 5020 16 bit PCMCIA NIC running on a
ThinkPad 755C type 9454 486 laptop, running Debian testing/unstable on
a stock 2.4.18-1-386 kernel.


My problem is that the card turns up undetected as "anonymous memory".


The PCMCIA HOWTO suggests that specifying a different memory range
should work, but none of the suggested ranges (or several others) works.


I have added the recommended line to /etc/pcmcia/config:

# Modified KMSelf Sun Aug 17 23:37:11 PDT 2003
card "Belkin-5020"
version "Belkin", "F5D5020-PCMCIA-Network-Card"
bind "pcnet_cs"


Of two other PCMCIA NICs, one works (but is needed on another system),
another doesn't.

I have the same model NIC running in another ThinkPad, though a
different model (P-133). It does generate some lost interrupt errors,
but otherwise appears to work reasonably well.
