NI GPIB PCMCIA not recognized (AGAIN)

[primorec]

Sorry folks, I've pressed __send__ button too early in the previous posting

HI All,

It does not matter what I do, the kernel (or OS ?) does not recognize
a standard NI GPIB PCMCIA card.

hardware:
IBM ThinkPad T22
RAM 384MB
00:02.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PC1450 (rev 03)
00:02.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PC1450 (rev 03)
OS: Fedora Core 6 (kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen
       CentOS 4.4 (kernel 2.6.9-34.EL)
       CentOS 4.4 (kernel 2.6.18.6)
       CentOS 4.4 (kernel 2.6.19.3)
       CentOS 4.4 (kernel 2.6.9-42.EL)

I've tried all the options from above. On all CentOS versions the
card is recognised a 'Anonymous Memory"  and the pcmcia subsystem
tries to load the memory_cs.

Log files slightly differ...  but more or less I get  the following output

Feb 19 09:02:32 localhost kernel: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0

The Fedora Core 6 is different.  It does not complain about
'memory_cs". At the end, the result is the same.
The NI GPIB card is not recognized.

The 'pccardctl ident'  (cardctl ident)  brings __nothing__ back.
Socket 0:
  no product info available

pccardctl status  (cardctl status)
Socket 0:
  5V 16-bit PC Card

------------------------------------------------------------------------
however, when I do the same tests on ThinkPad T43, results are different

What I am doing wrong ?
 Any hint | advice | solution | explanation | help  is more than welcome
