i got it working today.

didn't have to do "pci=bios" or disable IO-APIC or anything.

all i did was toss out pcmcia-cs modules and use the kernel pcmcia drivers (and
patch hostap into the kernel of course - which is what i didn't do the first
time around).  kernel pcmcia has no problems with the ricoh cradle, so it just
worked.
