It looks to me like epic_cb and serial_cb were loaded. > I have added the card as a "10-100Mb MF Cardbus" in the > config file to bind it to pcnet_cs but no change That would be wrong; pcnet_cs is a 16-bit driver and won't work with a CardBus card. But I think your addition was ignored. > cs: could not allocate 512 IO ports for CardBus socket 0 > epic_cb: RequestIO: Out of resource This is your problem. This card requires a big block of IO ports. The error message is described in the PCMCIA-HOWTO; the solution is to add a bigger IO port window to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, such as: include port 0x1000-0x17ff See if that helps. -- Dave
