I'm back to trying to get my laptop working with both it's cardbus slots again.... I tried the latest 2.4.18-pre7 + mppe(VPN) + Jes Sorenson's IRQ routing patch for certain VAIOS. Jes' patch was recently posted to LKML, but it does not seem to affect my problem... However, the same problems I was having with the 2.4.6 kernel a while back are still here. When I insert an adapter in the second cardbus slot, the machine hangs (alt-sysrq-p does nothing) I see this when I remove the NIC, and the machine starts working again. cs: socket c7f90000 timed out during reset. Try increasing setup_delay. I believe the problem lies with this: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] PCI: Assigned IRQ 9 for device 00:0a.0 PCI: Assigned IRQ 10 for device 00:0a.1 IRQ routing conflict for 00:07.5, have irq 5, want irq 10 IRQ routing conflict for 00:07.6, have irq 5, want irq 10 PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:10.0 If I can offer any more debugging information, don't hesitate to ask!
