I'm running Debian 3, kernel 2.6.7.  I upgraded to 2.6 after I had so 
much trouble trying to install the prism54 driver.  Now with 2.6, 
prism54 looks OK, now I can't get the cardbus/pcmcia stuff working again.

'lsmod' shows prism54, but no pcmcia-cs.

Here's the output from tail -f /var/log/syslog:

Sep  1 09:12:36 localhost kernel: NET: Registered

Then when I unplug and replug the wireless card, syslog adds the message 
"localhost kernel: PCI: device 0000:05:00.0 has unknown header type 7f, 
ignoring"

'cardmgr' says:
open_sock (socket 0) failed: device or resource busy
another card manager is already running?

Now, I have the 'pcmcia-cs' package installed (3.2.5-8), and a 
kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.25-1-386 (I can't find a kernel-modules for 
kernel 2.6, maybe that's part of the problem).

It looks to me like the pieces of hotplug/cardbus or whatever are out of 
whack, but it's just getting more confusing the deeper I dig into it.

Thanks for the help.
