Cardbus cards not being seen?

Hi,

dmesg doesn't show it, but lspci shows them both:

> 0000:07:00.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890 [Prism 
> GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01)
> 0000:0b:00.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3cCFE656 CardBus [Cyclone] 
> (rev 02)
> 0000:0b:00.1 Communication controller: 3Com Corporation 3cCFEM656 10/100 
> LAN+56K Modem CardBus (rev 02)

> The problem I am having is that the built-in card is recognized and working 
> but any cardbus cards are not recognized, in fact nothing shows up at all in 
> dmesg when one is inserted. If I insert an old 16-bit card, it is recognized.

Also, cardctl says

> Socket 2:
>   3.3V CardBus card
>   function 0: [ready]
>   function 1: [ready]

which is all you want. Errors should show up in dmesg, not cards being
recognized properly. All you need is to load the appropriate drivers for
these devices, if they haven't been built into the kernel.

Good luck,
	Dominik
