[vortex] 3c575_cb.c and the 3CXFEM656C CardBus PCMCIA

[Illo de' Illis]

Ok, I'm trying to get this card working on my system (an Acer Travelmate 332T
with Linux 2.4.0-ac9). I've tried the 2.4.0 kernel with internal
PCI->CardBus + 3c59x, and the 2.4.0 kernel without PCMCIA support and
external 3.1.23 PCMCIA package drivers.
The first configuration fails to load the driver claiming that it is unable to 
find the right IRQ of the card. I've tried setting the kernel option
'pci=biosirq' as suggested but it behaves the same.
The second configuration fails because it cannot allocate 512 IO ports:

I searched (not quite deeply, actually) in this mailing list archive but
found nothing about this problem... what's wrong with that?

Ciao,
Illo.
