PCMCIA problems with 2.4.0-test4, Toshiba notebook and noname ethernet card

Hello,

I have a Toshiba Satellite 2060CDS laptop and a "no name" ne2000 compatible
PCMCIA ethernet card.

With 2.2.x, this combination has always worked fine. I have tried a number of
2.3.x and 2.4.0-testx (including 2.4.0-test4) kernels, and they all give me the
same result:

If the PCMCIA support in the BIOS setup is set to CardBus, then the kernel will
boot fine, but as soon as the ethernet card is detected, the kernel spits out
an endless amount of "eth0: interrupt from stopped card" messages and I have to
reboot.

If I set the BIOS options to PCIC-compatible, the machine will hang when trying
to detect the PCMCIA bridge during the kernel boot.

Details:

(this is with BIOS setting to CardBus:)
