Afraid it didn't work - still says device or resource busy :(
Thanks for the idea though.

Hi,
I had this problem on my laptop and it was because the start up sequence
was trying to start networking before loading the pcmcia card. Once I
changed the startup order (/etc/rc3.d symlinks) it worked for me.
Hope this helps,
Simon.
