    i have the same problem with the same setup. from the logs, it looks
    like this is due to a PCI resource allocation conflict:

    Sep 17 15:56:33 prospero cardmgr[6838]: initializing socket 1

    Sep 17 15:56:33 prospero kernel: 3c59x: vortex_probe1 fails. Returns -5

    after i suspended the laptop and started again i got this:

    Sep 18 11:36:47 prospero cardmgr[6838]: shutting down socket 1
    Sep 18 11:36:47 prospero cardmgr[6838]: executing: 'modprobe -r 3c575_cb'

    Sep 18 11:36:59 prospero cardmgr[6838]: module /lib/modules/2.4.0-test9/pcmcia/memory_cs.o not available

    it looks like the pcmcia daemon is really confused (pci=biosirq didn't
    make any difference in the past). test9-pre1 worked fine (well, i
    still had to do 'ifconfig eth0 up' by hand).
