[tulip] Linksys CardBus NIC Redux

Hi again everybody,
  I received a diagnostic tip for my NIC. I ran a program called dump_cis 
that seems to have given some (?) useful information. Here is the output of 
/sbin/dump_cis:

---OUTPUT---
Socket 0:
  manfid 0x13d1, 0xab02
  funcid network_adapter [post]
  lan_technology ethernet
  lan_speed 10 mb/sec
  lan_speed 100 mb/sec
  lan_media unshielded_twisted_pair
  vers_1 5.0, "Linksys",
    "EtherFast Integrated 10/100 CardBus PC Card(PCM200)", "V1.0", ""
  config_cb base 0x002a last_index 0x01
  BAR 1 size 256b [io]
  BAR 2 size 256b [mem]
  BAR 7 size 512b [mem]
  cftable_entry_cb 0x01 [default]
    Vcc Vnom 3300mV
    io_base 1
    irq mask 0xfefc [level] [shared]
    mem_base 2 7

Socket 1:
  no CIS present
---OUTPUT---
  
  I've added the following lines to my /etc/pcmcia/config file:

card "ADMtek Centaur-C (Linksys)"
manfid 0x0149, 0xc2ab
bind "tulip_cb" 

  The name that I have for the card is the one I noticed that xconsole 
reports when it says that the CardBus card won't be installed since there 
aren't any resources allocated for it. Apparently this helps somewhat, as I'm 
getting a different error message now. Modprobe now reports that the "Device 
is Busy", and suggests that it might be a misconfigured IRQ (a different 
error than before).

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks!!!

   -Tim
