           Summary: pcnet_cs no longer works
    Kernel Version: 2.6.17-rc1, 2.6.17
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: linux-pcmcia at lists.infradead.org

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.16-git20
Distribution: Debian
Hardware Environment:  Toshiba 500CDT, ToPIC95-B, Ibm H&A 10mbps Ethernet/modem
Software Environment:  Problem is present in 2.6.17-rc1, 2.6.17, and git current
Problem Description:

I have this pcnet_cs card which has always worked no problem up to
2.6.16.28.  I just tried to upgrade to 2.6.17, and the kernel log is
flooded with

eth0: Too much work at interrupt, status 0x22

along with the occasional

eth0: pcnet_reset_8390() did not complete.

and no network traffic works.  I tried removing and reinserting the card
and driver with no improvement.

I see where this problem occurs in 8390.c but am baffled since there were no 
changes to that file.  There were changes in pcnet_cs.c but mostly API updates 
from what I can tell.

Steps to reproduce:
Insert and attempt to use the aforementioned pcnet_cs card with any 
distribution after linux-2.6.16-git20.
I tried disable_clkrun option of yenta_socket with no effect.
