Did you try adding "bios=biosirq" at the lilo prompt ?
I've resovlded the problem by changing bios (6.90 version) values : I changed PC card controller mode : I turned it to PCIC Compatible instead of auto selected and now it works fine. It's strange, i did not have this problem with the suse 6.2 ...
Suse 6.2 (and older Red Hat versions) used the cardbus controller in a different way. The "new" way makes it, in general :), much more reliable and faster for things like networkcards. However it seems that your laptop didn't like that in "auto" mode...
