PCMCIA on Panasonic ToughBook CF-45 -- Anonymous Memory HA!

[y23]

Knoppix 3.7 (Whoppix, DSL)

Machine: Panasonic Toughbook CF45, 97ram, 4gigHDD, 233Mhz, trackball, USB, PCMCIA, Windows ME

I am trying various XIRCOM PCMCIA network cards, but:

cs: unable to map card memory!
cs: warning: no high memory space available!

here is the full dmesg, lspci, lsmod:

I tried various kernel parameters pci=assign-busses pci=usepirqmask pnpbios=off pci=biosirq
... all to no avail.

Bakshish (bribe): If you can help me get it going I'll send you a 2008 Astronomical Pocket Diary
