New Belkin F5D5020 PCMCIA NIC configuration

I've got it listed in /etc/pcmcia/config as:

\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\r\ncard "Belkin-5020"\r\nversion "Belkin", "F5D5020-PCMCIA-Network-Card"\r\nbind "pcnet_cs"\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\n

...per instructions I've found. Modules on the system are:

\r\n\r\n

Not sure what you mean by hotplug vs. anything else.

\r\n\r\n

With all of that set up, trying to bring up the interface, I get:

\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\r\n[root@reflex:pcmcia]# ifup eth0\r\nSIOCSIFADDR: No such device\r\neth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device\r\nSIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device\r\nSIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device\r\neth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device\r\neth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\n

Debian uses /etc/defaults/pcmcia for some default values:

\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\r\n[root@reflex:pcmcia]# cat /etc/default/pcmcia\r\n# Defaults for pcmcia (sourced by /etc/init.d/pcmcia)\r\nPCMCIA=yes\r\nPCIC=i82365\r\n# PCIC=yenta_socket\r\nPCIC_OPTS=\r\nCORE_OPTS=\r\nCARDMGR_OPTS=\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\n

System itself, as said: Thinkpad 9545.

\r\n\r\n

So: no workee. Suggestions?

New That's the one
You have to reserve an IRQ for a 16bit card - try adding

PCIC_OPTS="irq_list=10,11"

to /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia (or wherever on Debian).

Note that on my 2.4.20 kernel pcmcia setup, once in a while this card gets incorrectly identified as a flash memory card.

You only need hotplug setup if you want to stop/remove the card.

Also - in config.opts you can force the ioport for pcnet_cs to 0x300 but I don't seem to require that on my system.
