18 Can you send also the output of lspci and of lsmod?
19
20 It would be great to have also a filtered output of dmesg for Cardbus
21 and/or pcmcia.
22 Do it before you plug the card so we can see if the PCMCIA is set up properly.

30 from what I understand here, the powemanagement thing is not working
31 properly on the device.

65 Not really, but you can have a look at the opensource driver project
66 for this card:
67 http://acx100.sourceforge.net/
68
69 I recommend you downloading the tarball with the source and then
70 reading the entire documentation.
