Re: Whatever happened to /etc/pcmcia/config in FC-5?

Hrmm, I might be hitting this too, but I'm not sure.

Can you send me a copy of that config file (off list), so that I could
try that too?

I posted about this yesterday to this list, but no one has replied (yet):
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-April/msg03734.html

I read over the info from here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html#knownproblems
CardBus (sometimes also PCMCIA) cards not found

lspci on my notebook looks like this:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC

lspci  -v | grep subordinate
        Bus: primary=00, secondary=02, subordinate=02, sec-latency=64
        Bus: primary=02, secondary=03, subordinate=06, sec-latency=176

If i'm interpretting this correctly, then things look to be ok. 
However, there is the following warning for bus 3:

dmesg | grep assign
PCI: Bus #03 (-#06) may be hidden behind transparent bridge #02 (-#02)
(try 'pci=assign-busses')

At this point, I'm just confused and frustrated because while my
pcmcia wifi cards both seem to get detected when inserted, they're not
connecting to the network properly 99% of the time, and this problem
didn't exist until I upgraded from FC4 to FC5.
