>Description:
I tested 2 pcmcia cards on 3 different laptops with the exact same default installation (minimal).

The cards are:
Ubiquiti SRC Atheros 5212 Wireless Adapter
Sierra Wireless, AC850, 3G Network Adapter

On a T61p and on a Fujitsu laptop after plugin the Ubiquiti Card following is printed:

and with ifconfig we see it's ok

on the T60p the message is:

For the Sierra Wireless Adapter the Output on the two working laptops is:

pcib1: pccard0 requested memory range 0xd0200000-0xd02fffff: good
pccard0: using CIS quirks for Sierra Wireless, AC850, 3G Network Adapter, R1

and on the T60p it's:

pcib6: pccard0 requested memory range 0x88000000-0xffffffff: good
CIS is too long -- truncating
pccard0: Card has no functions!
cbb0: PC Card card activation failed
pcib6: pccard0 requested memory range 0x88000000-0xffffffff: good
CIS is too long -- truncating
pccard0: Card has no functions!
cbb0: PC Card card activation failed

Interesting is that this happens only on the T60p as well with a 6.3 minimal installation as well as a 7.0 minimal installation.
The same installation on other laptops works just like a charm.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just insert a pcmcia card.
I think it will be the same problem with other cards as well.

I found another bug description on a forum maybe it can help for more informations:
