PC Card: 3CCFE575BT (hope this is the right group?)

Computer: Sony Vaio PCG-C1XS

OS: Redhat 6.2, kernel 2.2.16 with pcmcia-cs-3.1.19 (WaveLAN patch
applied; that works perfectly, thanks!), USB backpatch from 2.4.0-test2
(also works very well).  Some APM features are on, PNP BIOS is off...

Two intermittent problems.  Occasionally, when I insert the card, I get
this: "cs: warning: no high memory space available!"

The solution seems to be to pull out the card, restart card services
and put the card back in.

Much more often (maybe one time in 3), I insert the card, it beeps once,
and then when it should beep the second time I get this:

eth0: Host error, FIFO diagnostic register 0000.
eth0: PCI bus error, bus status 80000020.

Those lines repeat as fast as the screen can scroll, Ctrl-Alt-Del
doesn't do a thing, and popping out the card gives lots that I can't see
(backscroll stops working), but they look a little like this:

[<c010fef6>] [<c01c70d6>] (more of the same...)
Code: 89 02 85 c0 74 03 89 50 04 b8 01 00 00 00 eb 03 90 31 c0 c7
Aiee, killing interrupt handler
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
In interrupt handler - not syncing

And then I have to pull the plug.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much!
