I have a laptop with CardBus controller from TI too, and I'm able to use the PCMCIA with i82365 chipset. I had the same problem when using earlier versions of pcmcia-cs, but there is a workaround. I don't know whether it works for you, but try this: edit file etc/pcmcia.conf with option PCIC_OPTS="do_scan=0". Good luck! Regards, Kenneth
