hello,

i've just installed the 2.4.5 kernel on my thinkpad i series 1200 laptop
w/ a netgear fa510 card.  i am using pcmcia-cs-3.1.27.

after i attempt a "cardctl insert" i get
cs: cb_alloc(bus 1): vendor 0x1011, device 0x0019
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 0(1000-fff) for 01:00.0
  got res[10800000:108003ff] for resource 1 of PCI device 1011:0019
  got res[10400000:1043ffff] for resource 6 of PCI device 1011:0019
PCI: Enabling device 01:00.0 (000->0003)

I am using tulip-0.9.14 (stable)
insmod tulip.o gives me
Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.14 (February 20, 2001)
tulip: eth0: I/O region (0x0@0x1000) too small, aborting
./tulip.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by .... (standard err msg)


./tulip-diag returns
...
Index #1: Found a Digital DS21143 Tulip adapter at 0x1000
 * A recognized chip has been found, but it does not appear to exist in
 * I/O space.  Use the `-f` flag to see the register values anyway
 Use '-a' ...
          ...
          ...

./tulip-diag -a gives me the following for the chip registers at 0x1000
0x00: ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff
ffffffff


./tulip-diag -f gives me too much to type by hand (my apologies for having
to type this, but i have no means of accessing the laptop from this
computer and it isn't online).

I managed to get the card working using the 2.2.17 kernel, compiling
tulip.c as tulip_cb.o and using pcmcia_core and ds.o, etc.



I've been trying to get this card working for a very long time on the 2.4
kernel.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
