Hello ,
I have a xircom rbem56g (cardbus multifunction lan/modem) card on
a Dell Cpx laptop.  I have tried booting with the snapshot kernel
image but still have no luck.  

I have tried booting the current  snapshot without the card being 
inserted and whenever I insert the card I get this message:

pcic_chip_socket_enable: status cpcic_wait_ready: ready never happened, status = 0
c


Will I be able to use this card for LAN on 1.4.2 or 1.5?

Details on the kernel I have built.. 




I have installed 1.4.2 on a Dell Latitude Cpx.
The pcmcia is a pci based bridge , but 1.4.2 seems not to have
a driver for this particular type?  I say driver because most
discussions  and faqs describe a "not configured" as something
driver based and not necessarily lacking kernel support.
    
Signifigant this I noticed from below:
-Intel 82443BX Host Bridge/Controller pci0 - not configured - This seems to be big.
-Texas Instruments PCI1225 PCI-CardBus Bridge at pci0 -- function 1 and 0 are
the two slots I presume.
- uhci0: interrupting at irq 11 - On linux the pcmcia card is on irq 3
  but tries to probe irq 11
    
    
  It is a Xircom RBEM56G which as I know, does not have a driver written
  I have visited: http://www.sprc.qut.edu.au/~mcgarry/netbsd/xircom.html
  but this driver only supports CEM/REM56
    
Any help to me (faqs,sites,driver source location,anything)is
much appreciated.
    
    
dmesg snips - please let me know if I have missed anything.
