installation. The reason for PCMCIA freezing is that the resource
ranges don't match the hardware. It's not possible to make the default
resource ranges work with all hardware (AFAIK) but I have noticed one

Hello,
I have created a new version of pcmcia-cs now which defaults to not
bringing up new interfaces with ifup. However, I am not currently on
