Hi folks,

Luke Mewburn and I have been having hassles getting a WaveLan card to
work in a Dell Inspiron 5000e.  Inserting a WaveLan card results in:

	wi0: init failed
	wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fce0/0; last status ffff
	wi0: could not get mac address, attach failed

It did work however if a cardbus ethernet card was already inserted
before inserting the WaveLan.  Enabling all the cardbus-type DEBUG
options led to discovering that when the card worked its IO ports were
mapped at 0x2100:

	pccbb_pcmcia_do_io_map win 0 addr 0x2100 size 0x40 width 16

and when it failed they were mapped at 0x2400:

	pccbb_pcmcia_do_io_map win 0 addr 0x2400 size 0x40 width 16

So, with the following extremely grotty hack:

Index: rbus.c

 				if (val == 0) {

 				}

I can wire in 0x2100 and now use the WaveLan (well, I think I can -
I can ifconfig it but as yet haven't got anything else to talking
to it with).  This also hasn't affected the usage of a Xircom combo
10/100/modem card.

Anyone got any ideas on what is actually wrong (why it doesn't work
at a different IO address) and how to fix it properly?

Simon.
