Hi,
I'm running Debian Woody with kernel 2.4.19 with cardbus and hotplug
support. I've a 3Com 3CXFE575CT pcmcia card and I'm trying to get it to
work on my system. It seems that the card is unable to find a usable
IRQ. I've disabled Plug-n-Play in the BIOS of my Sony VAIO PCG-FX140
Laptop but still the card is not able to get any usable IRQs. I also
booted with pci=biosirq but still no progress. Here's the message it
outputs to /var/log/messages.

Unfortunately the BIOS does not have any options to manually set IRQ for
the pcmica. Also most times when the card is inserted, the system just
freezes (i.e. mouse, keyboard display just locks up) until i remove the
card at which point every get back to normal. This is really strange.
I'm also attaching the output of lspci -v just in case it's of any use
in resolving this issue.

I'll be grateful if some can help me in resolving this issue.
pcmcia-cs version is 3.2.1-1 and hotplug version is 0.0.20020826-1.
