no memory allocated

Hi,

I'm having a problem getting a card working on my system. I'm fairly
sure it's not a problem with the driver but with pcmcia in general, but
if its not let me know.

The problem is this: When the card is inserted, lspci -vv reports this:
0000:02:00.0 Network controller: RaLink Ralink RT2500 802.11 Cardbus
Reference Card (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.: Unknown device

        Control: I/O- Mem- BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop-
ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
        Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=slow >TAbort-
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 17
        Region 0: Memory at <ignored> (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
[disabled]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
                Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA
PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-)
                Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-

And the driver fails on loading b/c the card has no memory allocated.
I'm not sure if this is a associated with an earlier problem I had with
my ENE CB1410 and the BIOS not informing the driver that the 64MB memory
region at the top of my 512M being used by the video card (see earlier
messages to this list) [solved by the use of a reserve=... kernel
parameter]

Please let me know any information that might be helpful, or anything
that I could try.

heres some stuff that is probably helpful:
