Hi there,
I have recently set up Gentoo on my friend's laptop,
a Panasonic toughbook cf-37. I am currently having difficulty
with sound use, but more importantly, his PCMCIA slot(?).
When I put his wireless card (which he needs working) into
the laptop, and do a dmesg, the following is appended:

cs: IO port probe 0xc00-0xcff: clean
cs: IO port probe 0x800-0x8ff: clean
cs: IO port probe 0x100-0x4ff: clean
cs: IO port probe 0xa00-0xaff: clean
cs: pcmcia_socket0: unable to apply power.
irq 9: nobody cared!

Disabling IRQ #9

So thats the output. What does it mean? Am I on the right track?
If so, does anyone know if his wireless card works under Linux?
Its a D-Link Airplus DWL-650+

Thanks!
