Bug Description
exakt version of the kernel: 2.6.27-4-generic (Ubuntu 2.6.27-4.6-generic)
I am testing Intrepid on a fairly old Laptop without build-in network card, thus I use a Netgear FA411 Fast Ethernet PCMCIA network card. Under hardy it works like a charm (with every version of kernel that was ever present in hardy), no problems, works after suspend/resume and hibernate/resume, everything's fine. But under Intrepid it doesn't work. To be more specific: the driver refuses to drive the card claiming somebody else is responsible, but no other driver shows up, so the cards stays undriven.
The symptoms: the card's leds are on, ifconfig reports only loopback device, the gnome tool in the upper right-hand corner does not see a device.
I have the output of lspcmcia -vv under hardy and intrepid as well as the output of dmesg under both attached, the most interesting lines I cite:
lspcmcia -vv hardy:
Socket 1 Device 0: [pcnet_cs] (bus ID: 1.0)
lspcmcia -vv intrepid:
Socket 1 Device 0: [-- no driver --] (bus ID: 1.0)

attached the complete outputs. If you need further information - ask.

I looked quickly what the driver axnet_cs (that is proposed by pnet_cs) is for: it is for spcial AXIS-based cards. I did not find any hints that the Netgear FA411 card is based on this chipset. I would rather say, it ist not. So maybe the error is, that pcnet_cs falsely detects an AXIS card.
