I cannot see anything, and grep -i network or grep -i pcmcia returned
nothing.
BUT, I first had to shut down the Morphix session and reboot.
when I did, my Thinkpad failed to boot. I don't yet know whether this
was a result of the Morphix, or merely coincidental. But the
messages on screen at the point of failure _may_ give a clue about
the cardbus NIC problem:
...

unexpected IRQ trap at vector 5d
and that was that. There it stopped.
Does that indicate a possible IRQ problem with the card?
I then unplugged the problem PCMCIA card and operated the BRS (well,
it's small and white on the thinkpad). It booted ok without the card
in, and when I then inserted it, said
cb_alloc(bus 9): vendor 0x10ec, device 0x8139
as ever.
This reminds me of when my kids were small, and I gave them
step-by-step instructions how to do simple tasks. -- but please keep
going!
