[ltp] T42p PCMCIA/CardBus troubles

I have a brand new T42p. I've done a install of Fedora Core 2 that I 
updated with released errata. I've also tried kernel 2.6.7-mm5.

My problem is when I insert cardbus/pcmcia devices I get no beep, driver 
load, or card activation.  My cards:

Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA
Xircom RealPort Ethernet+Modem CardBus

If I insert a card and do a:

cardct insert 1

Then I *do* get a beep and driver load, but if I try to use the device 
whatever command I'm using (iwconfig/ifconfig/etc) just hangs.

Something is not right. I don't suspect hardware as when I boot to WinXP 
everything works as expected.

I read T41+ documents on www.linux-on-laptops.com but didnt' see any 
issues noted with PCMCIA.

Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated.
