I tried various kernel parameters pci=assign-busses pci=usepirqmask pnpbios=off pci=biosirq
... all to no avail.

What, you're still using DSL 0.9??Suggest you try the newest RC for DSL 4. With a newer kernel, it might sort everything out for you.

You could try booting with nopcmcia, then manually insert which modules you need.@curaga: I still have lots of 1.x setups

I tried NOPCMCIA and did modprobe pcmcia_cs but it gave a "module not found."Can someone type a few command I can try?
Or suggest a live-distro that has older pcmcia modules for 16bit cards?
Since mine is a TI PCI1250 controller I tried the solution for "old laptop and the the TI1620 cardbus controller"
setpci -s 0:a.0 SUBORDINATE_BUS=0x0A
as described < here >.
No cigar :-(
My hunch is that the solution is partly told < here >
PUPPY 2.17 failed, too.

I would get a wpc11 from linksys version 3 card or the netgear ma401 both cards run upon install on my panasonic cf-25 and they are cheap on ebay.
