pccard (Linksys WPC11) resets constantly (fwd)

[mapr at mx.sybcom.de]

Hello,
I am running kernel 2.4.25 (i82365, N2K-card driver, etc. built into the 
kernel), hostap-driver-0.3.7 and cardmgr comes from pcmcia-cs-3.2.7. This 
configuration worked well with a Netgear MA401, but switching to a
Linksys WPC11 brought several problems.

I do an insmod to load the modules  'hostap.o' and 'hostap_cs.o', 
sometimes this runs without problems and I can run cardmgr and do a ram 
download (prism2_srec -r wlan0 rf010409.hex). After running for a short 
time the card is resetting constantly:

NETDEV WATCHDOG: wifi0: transmit timed out
wifi0 Tx timed out! Resetting card
hostap_cs: wifi0: resetting card
Spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: wifi0: transmit timed out
wifi0 TX timed out! Resetting card
wifi0: interrupt delivery does not seem to work
wifi0: DTIM period setting to 1 failed
NETDEV WATCHDOG: wifi0: transmit timed out
wifi0: TX timed out! Resetting card
wifi0: interrupt delivery does not seem to work
wifi0: MAC port 0 enabling failed
hostap_cs: wifi0: resetting card
hostap_cs: wifi0: resetting card
NETDEV WATCHDOG: wifi0 : transmit timed out
wifi0 Tx timed out! Resetting card
hostap_cs: wifi0: resetting card


As far as I can see the problems arise already when the modules are 
loaded (if that could cause the above problems?), because most of the 
times after insmod'ing it says:

'unable to locate card memory' and later
'resource is temporarely not available'

and something about not finding memory_cs [I don't need the memory_cs.o 
module, do I? And if, why does it run sometimes without?] Running cardmgr 
now freezes the whole computer.

I don't do the 'modprobe' stuff, because I have very limited resources 
(no hd, only ramdisk)  - so it's likely a general PCMCIA instead of a 
hostap* module problem. Sorry if being Off-Topic, but currently I don't 
get a step forward.


Any hints will be appreciated 

Thanks,
Mario
