PCMCIA IEEE1394 Freeze

[Mirko Mählisch]

Hello everyone,

i recently got a st-lab ieee1394 pcmcia adapter.
Whenever inserting it into my IBM R50p (Suse 9.1, 2.6.5-7.111-default)
the whole system freezes and no further input is possible. After
ejecting it again, everything continues working.

I managed a quick lspci -vv ''shot'' between insertation and freeze-up:
