    sigh, more pcmcia.

    pcmcia operability is even less now.

    * IOAPIC now can NOT be enabled in the kernel or the machine won't find
    the card. it used to find it most of the time a few kerns back and find
    it all the time a few kerns before that.
    * (side note: if IOAPIC is enabled, the kernel now hangs right after
    printing the maestro stuff, 'tis a hard hang that magic key can't fix)
    * only my second card slot works now, if i put my card in #1, the kernel
    hangs at the same place as if IOAPIC were enabled, at the end of maestro
    init
    * the aviator card (ray_cs driver) will stop functioning until reboot if
    you let the laptop enter suspend state (ACPI+S1, no APM), attempts to
    address it result in ioctl() busy. forced removal and insertion
    followed by interface down/up/config results in an OOPS.

    these above issues are with all of the last half dozen kernels. there
    are several more pcmcia issues that have been outstanding for a while
    and discussed for a while but still remain :(

    i will provide new pirq_dump tables and boot dmesg to whomever wants.
    "whomever", please step forward and assist.

    thankyou,
    -d
