i have a serial modem card here which needs a wider port/memory range.
if you integrate all 4 configuration examples, then that card is
recognized.

unfortunately, i do not have _this_ WLAN card at hand. but i get

ioctl(): Device or resource busy

when i try that with another WLAN card (which used to work last week,
but does not anymore this week).

anyway, i tried with a handful of cards today with several
configurations and the results are staggering. a configuration and a
card that worked 10 minutes before, do not work later after having
changed the configuration forth and back. there are several
different error messages. a small collection:

my WLAN card (not the one i wrote about yesterday) is not recognized by
"the kernel", but it gets power.

for now, i give up after having booted more than a dozen times.
interestingly, OS X has some problems, too. first, it does not recognize
the memory card from Pretec, but it recognizes and mounts the memory
card from SanDisk. afterwards it recognizes, but fails to mount the
Pretec card. *sigh*

so, i am not so sure, if my hardware is not somehow broken. all cards
here are CF-cards, slipped into an adapter and then inserted into the
powerbook. one memory card is not recognized when in adapter A, but is
recognized when in adapter B. nevertheless, it shows some error like the
above.

at the moment, i am not in the mood to check everything daintily, since
the results do not seem to be reliable, anyway. i would not
wonder if my WLAN and memory card will work again tomorrow.
the configuration given in the PCMCIA-HOWTO seems to be the one
generating no errors like "IN from bad port" or "__ioremap... is RAM
...". so it seems to be good base for more experiments.

damnit, i wondered about "ck" or just "k". i almost never write
diacritics in foreign languages, because my keyboard layout does not
make it easy. :)

bye,
 sebastian
