It's supported *IF* the EEPROM media table is correct.  Some editions of the
card don't have a blank EEPROM, and you must use a recent tulip-diag program
to write it.

Yup, a 21143.

I/O address 0x100.

I don't  trust the modified version, but that's not the problem here.

This is the problem -- the EEPROM is blank.  Intel doesn't follow their own
design manual.  They are the *only* 21143 CardBus vendor that doesn't.

I don't know where it picked this address from!  It should use the I/O
address from BAR0, not the memory address from BAR1.  I'm guessing the
PCMCIA code does not leave the I/O space bit set in /proc/bus/pci/devices.

(David, can you comment on this?)

Yup.  That's what is happening.  This is likely David's bug.

The work-around is
  tulip-diag -t 4 -p 0x100 -e

Follow the directions to update your EEPROM, if everything looks good from
the report.
