I have spent 2 days working on this wireless minipc card and it's confused, 
perplexed, and worn me out.


When loading the pcmcia_core (or other modules that depend on that) irq11 is
disabled therefore making usb, the wireless card, and ethernet useless.

If the option acpi=off is used then all appears to be fine, except for that I
cant use acpi.

I tried some other kernels eg 2.4.2? 2.6.6-2 2.6.7-smp (all deb unstable) and
the same applied.  Even the new installer (then i stopped the re-install when
i realized why dhcp failed).


The hardware is a "Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600".
