[Till Plewe]

My "BUFFALO" ("WLI-PCM-L11G") pccard stopped working recently on
STABLE: (it is on the list of cards supported by the wi driver). Now
pccardd refuses to allocate a driver.

It is possible that some thoughtless use of mergemaster overwrote some
necessary entries in {pccard,rc}.conf but I cannot remember having put
anything relevant there myself.

Until 1-2 month ago the card worked after inserting, removing and
reinserting it. Now this produces the following messages: (the wi-1
looks a bit strange)

pccardd[61]: Card "BUFFALO"("WLI-PCM-L11G") [Version 01.01] [] matched 
		"BUFFALO" ("WLI-PCM-L11G") [(null)] [(null)] 
pccardd[61]: driver allocation failed for BUFFALO(WLI-PCM-L11G): 
		Device not configured
/kernel: pccard: card removed, slot 1
pccardd[61]: wi-1: BUFFALO (WLI-PCM-L11G) removed.
/kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 1

and ps -alxww | grep pcc shows that /etc/pccard_ether wi-1 stop doesn't
want to die 

    0    61     1   0  10  0   464  344 wait   Is    ??

I would be grateful for any suggestion.

Thanks
