Problem initializing hostap_cs on dwl 650

: It looks like that your PCMCIA driver cannot figure out what interrupts
: (ISA or PCI) should be used for the PCMCIA cards.
:
: If you are using pcmcia-cs from RedHat, recompile the kernel without
: PCMCIA or recompile pcmcia-cs, but configure it with the "--force" option
: to compile the new modules.
:
: Once you have done it (or if you have pcmcia-cs modules already)
: give the option irq_mode=0 for the i82365 module.

Agreed, but also specify pci_int=1 pci_csc=1 as arguments to i82365.o along
with irq_list=0. The DWL-650 is a CardBus adapter, and doesn't appear to
work with ISA interrupts enabled as opposed to PCI interrupts and status
changes.

e.g. on my laptop (using a TI 1225 PCIC), I see, after providing these
arguments:

See the PCMCIA HOWTO off the LDP for more information (especially the
section on resource starvation).

FWIW, this is for the modules that come with pcmcia_cs (as can be
ascertained from the Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.2.1 line). The kernel
PCMCIA modules include yenta_socket.o, which correctly switches to PCI
interrupts for CardBus bridges.
