[tulip] D-Link DFE-660 freezes System

[Michael Tuschik]

Hello,
i want to use a D-Link DFE-660 cardbus LAN-card in an FSC-Notebook.
Sometimes the system freezes, when i insert the card. If not, it freezes
when i want to initialize it with an IP-address.
I guess it's some sort of resource conflict. But i get no error messages,
no log entries, no response :( The system hangs and i have to turn it off.

This is my system:

Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook X-7530 (P3 500 MHz)
D-Link DFE-660 (connected to a 100mbit SMC switch)
Debian Linux 3.0 with Linux Kernel 2.4.18 and 2.4.19

Please help, i have no clue what to do.

Thanx in advance !!
Michael Tuschik
