Pcmcia card wrongly recognised

Bug Description

I have a Corega FastEther PCC-TX:
graham@autrecourt:~$ cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  product info: "corega K.K.", "corega FastEther PCC-TX"
  manfid: 0xc00f, 0x0000
  function: 6 (network)

This works fine under Breezy. Under Dapper, however,
the card gets recognised as a wlan card, and hostap_cs
tries to configure it (log attached). This may have something
to do with the shift from pcmcia_cs to pcmciautils.

This is an excerpt from /var/log/syslog showing what
Dapper does to my Corega FastEther PCC-TX
card.

But does it work?

Nevermind, I see the log now. Does it work if you unload hostap_cs and reload the correct driver?

Can you also attach (do no paste in comments) the out of these two commands:

lspci -vv
lspci -vvn

With the card inserted.

The correct module is pcnet_cs, and the one it loads
wrongly is hostap_cs: when it malfunctions it has
both of these loaded. I can't unload hostap_cs with
the card inserted (I get "module busy" messages), but
if I have only pcnet_cs loaded before I insert the card, then
it does work.

I'm attaching the output of the two lspci commands.

No, it's not: I'm not even using that machine any more, and, as far
as I can remember, the problem with Ubuntu was resolved in one of the
updates.

Thanks for the reply

Graham
