CardBus card activation failed

[Markku Kokko]

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.
As you said, I am not using the internal Broadcom card and I am not using
Dell Truemobile. This is a D-Link 650+ card that works nice.

But I want that it works directly at boot, if inserted, or when I insert it
the first time in the slot.

At boot I get the "CardBus card activation failed" error, the same occurs if
I insert it after boot. After ejecting and re-inserting the card it works.

Anyone with the same problem?
Any ideas on what to do?

Just ask for more information and I will give as much as I can, but I want
this solved in someway.

Best Regards / Markku
