Hi,

I don't know if this is the right place to ask for some help.

But, anyway, I have this problem my Linksys PCMPC200 CardBus PC Card doesn't 
work on a  very old laptop (toshiba satellite pro 460cdt) that I want to make a 
router with.

When I request an adress by dhcpcd client or other clients it hangs hopelessy, 
the same appens even if I state a fixed IP by ifconfig and I ping something.

I am running slack 10.1 with a custom compiled 2.6.19.6 kernel.

here is lspci output:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems 601 (rev a7)
00:02.0 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC95 (rev 07)

I downloaded and compiled tulip-diag from your site, and there is the output 
of tulip-diag -aem:

I don't know what to do. I' ve tried to use mmio resources for both of my eths
