pcmcia-cs 3.2.5 & linux 2.6.0-test5 "Invalid argument" problem

[fritz at reichmann.tv]

Hello, 
 
I am trying to get a IEEE1394 and an atmel-based Sitecom WL-011 running at the 
same time. So far I could only get one working at a time using linux 2.4.x because the 
first is only supported by kernel pcmcia and the second only by atmelwlandriver with 
pcmcia-cs :-(. 
 
Now because 2.6.0 supports an atmel_cs driver I want both cards to be supported 
directly by the kernel. 
 
What I am trying: 
 
Excerpt from linux kernel config: 
CONFIG_ISA=y 
CONFIG_PCMCIA=m 
CONFIG_PCMCIA_ATMEL=m 
 
pcmcia-cs 3.2.5 is configured with kernel pcmcia support. 
 
atmel.conf conftains: 
device "atmel_cs" 
  class "network" 
card "ATMEL 11 Mbps SiteCom PCMCIA Card" 
  manfid 0xd601, 0x0007 
  bind "atmel_cs" 
 
wireless.opts contains: 
# ATMEL WIRELESS 
*,*,*,00:60:B3:*:*:*) 
    INFO="SiteCom" 
[... SNIPP SNAPP ...] 
 
lspci -vv says (I hope this is the relevant portion):

lsmod says (amongst others, but atmel_cs does not appear): 
ds                     11236  4 
yenta_socket           14720  2 
pcmcia_core            64480  2 ds,yenta_socket 
 
And now the problem: pcmcia-cs is not able to bind atmel_cs to the socket, according 
to the error message in syslog: 
Sep 24 09:41:02 linux cardmgr[229]: socket 1: ATMEL 11 Mbps SiteCom PCMCIA Card 
Sep 24 09:41:02 linux cardmgr[229]: bind 'atmel_cs' to socket 1 failed: Invalid 
 
However I can insert the IEEE1394 card and it works perfectly after insertion. I do get 
similiar "Invalid argument" messages when I try a ISDN AVM Fritz card (which I never 
used seriously before). From reports from Simon Kelly 
(http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/atmel/) I know that atmel-based wireless cards should 
work with linux-2.6.0. Both cards also worked with 2.4.x, but only one at a time because 
one is supported by kernel and the other by pcmcia-cs only. 
 
After fighting for a few days I do not know how to continue anymore. Can please 
someone give me advice on how to solve this ? I am happy to give more info and try 
things out. 
 
Any help is appreciated !
