yenta_socket/PCMCIA problems.Re: [ltp] FYI - Linuxcare T30 certification now available.

[D. Sen]

I still have problems with PCMCIA and yenta_socket. The most irritating 
problem is that card insertions dont seem to be noticed by cardmgr.

Here is the output from:

 >cardctl status
Socket 0:
   no card

Here are the syslog messages from `/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start`:

Both kernel 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 seem to produce the same symptoms. An 
associated problem might be these syslog messages:

Sep 11 11:39:22 calliope kernel: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 
of device 02:00.0
Sep 11 11:39:22 calliope kernel: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0

`lspci -v` produces:

Any ideas?
