Comment 6 for bug 320314

Tried another PCMCIA card, this one with a VIA 6212 controller which according to various posts works in ubuntu. (Note lspci sees it as VIA 82xxxxx or VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0.) Similar results.

Tried under KNOPPIX 5.3.1. WORKED PERFECTLY AT HIGH SPEED AUTOMATICALLY.

During KNOPPIX boot, messages displayed indicate it's found by cardmgr under udev. Note that this doesn't get reported in dmesg, and /var/log/messages & boot.log aren't enabled by default.

From what I've found, cardmgr is part of pcmcia-cs, depreciated for 2.6 (in favor of pcmciautils), but apparently useful enough for Klaus. Interestingly, ehci_hcd doesn't appear in lsmod, but appears in dmesg, so I surmise it's built-in to the kernel.

Attached is information FROM KNOPPIX.
