Senao SL-2011CD/SL-2011CDPLUS, Ricoh RL5C475 Bridge and HostAP problems

[Vanja Hrustic]

Hello!

I am trying to use hostap_cs driver with following setup:

nForce2 based system (XP2000)
RedHat 9
Senao PCMCIA card (identified during PCMCIA startup as Senao
SL-2011CD/SL-2011CDPLUS)
Ricoh RL5C475 based PCI-Cardbus Bridge

First, I had to modify /etc/pcmcia/config.opts (include memory range) in
order for PCI/PCMCIA adapter to be recognized. It loaded okay.

However, when I try to load hostap_cs driver, I encountered problems.
/var/log/messages shows:

I've searched on Google, but didn't really find any solutions to this
problem.

I wonder if anyone has an idea what might be wrong here?

Any pointers (as well as what other details I might copy/paste, etc.) are
more than welcome.
