Adding "exclude irq 3" to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts solve the problem.
Interesting... do you have a serial mouse by chance ? (as opposed to PS/2 mouse)
No, I do not have a serial mouse on. I am not sure why this method fix this problem; nonetheless I guess it does not matter whether you have a serial mouse attached or not. The startup program of pcmcia is scanning throught every available irq resources except those being excluded at the file /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. I think, therefore excluding irq 3 from the scanning process avoiding a conflict between hardware. Check here: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/doc/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html at the section: "Interrupt scan failures" Another interesting thing. After making my network card working, the ftp service was still not working. I found that I had to run /usr/sbin/setup to turn on NFS and wuftp services, also setup network security.
That's a feature, see the release notes. All services ship default disabled for security; if you want them it's simple to turn on...
