LiveWire Ethernet card, anyone?

[Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer@pasteur.fr>]

I cannot convince my Ethernet LiveWire card to work.

'cardctl ident' reports it as a :

  product info: "New Media Corporation", "LiveWire 10/100", "Fast Ethernet"
  manfid: 0x0149, 0x0230
  function: 6 (network)

To get rid of the "unsupported card in socket 0" of cardmgr, I modified 
config.opts to add:

card "New Media Live Wire Ethernet"
  version "New Media Corporation", "LiveWire 10/100", "Fast Ethernet"
  bind "nmclan_cs"

(The card is in the SUPPORTED.CARDS file.)

Now, cardmgr tries to start the proper driver, records the card in 
/var/run/stab, but it still reports (in daemon.log):

Feb  2 16:58:45 helvetia cardmgr[97]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: 
Resource temporarily unavailable

This is on a pure 'slink', with kernel 2.0.36 and PCMCIA-CS 3.0.5. But I get 
the same problem on a different laptop which has kernel 2.2.7 and PCMCIA-CS 
3.0.9.

The box is a Acer Extensa 500DX.
