Classic symptoms of using an IRQ that doesn't work for your PCMCIA
controller. Your (laptop?) motherboard is likely routing IRQ5
somewhere special, perhaps for sound. The fix is to build a new
kernel with PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK set to exclude irq5.
If the card works fine under Windows, what IRQ does the windows
hardware resource manager say it's using?
