Hello again.

I've tested the change, but I am having a problem even getting to that
  point.

When inserting the airo card in kernel 2.4.22 and 2.4.22-bk36, I get the
  following error:

Oct 18 16:50:10 paulus cardmgr[3036]: socket 1: 350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter
Oct 18 16:50:11 paulus airo: register interrupt 0 failed, rc -16
Oct 18 16:50:11 paulus airo_cs: RequestConfiguration: Operation succeeded
Oct 18 16:50:12 paulus cardmgr[3036]: get dev info on socket 1 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

Do you know where this might be coming from?  The card works pretty well
  (it actually has the following problem in 2.4.21:

(unfortunately, it doesn't look like ksymoops could translate this for
  some reason.)

which is what I was hoping was fixed in the upgrade.

Unfortunately, neither 2.4.22 work (as described above), and for some reason
  the pcmcia/cardbus driver locks up my system (I found this by stripping out
  everything and slowly adding stuff back 'till it broke) without an error
  that I can find in 2.6.0.  :(

Any assistance you can provide would be extremely helpful.  I can edit the
  files and add debugging info if need be--I just want to be able to use
  a current kernel again.  ;)

Thank you for your help.
