cs: pcmcia_socket0: cardbus cards are not supported



Hello,
the cardbus/pcmcia-wlan-card (11ab:1faa) doesn't work on my laptop with debian lenny, 2.6.26-2-486:
dmesg shows:
cs: pcmcia_socket0: cardbus cards are not supported.
or (with second slot)
cs: pcmcia_socket1: cardbus cards are not supported.
another card is working in the pcmcia-slots, so the slot is ok.

seems like:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/netgear-wg551-pcmciasocket0-cardbus-cards-are-not-supported.-470779/

possible, suggested solutions:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/cardbus-cards-not-supported-slack-10.2-440706/
but with pci=assign-busses,pci=biosirq,pci=routeirq,irqpoll as kernelparameters it don't work.

With damnsmalllinux 4.4.10 (kernel 2.4.31) the card is nearly working (recognized,
ndiswrapper-module can be loaded, iwlist wlan0 scan works, essid can not be set, perhaps because
of a ndiswrapper version problem:
"Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been
compiled with version 16, therefore some driver features may not be available...")

Therefore, I don't think, it is a hardware problem.

A differnce is that damnsmalllinux uses cardmgr, debian not.
Can I set up cardmgr on Debian Lenny somehow?

I can't find a solution for "cs: pcmcia_socket1: cardbus cards are not supported." in the
internet. Is it a kernel issue or is the package pcmciautils responsible for the message?
Or is the kernel-version the problem, cause i read, that something changed from 2.6.13 on?
Have cardbus cards been supported earlier/in former versions and now support stopped completely?
Would installing Debian Sarge with kernel 2.6.8 solve the probelm?

If not here, where else could i ask for help?

Thanks,
Stefan
