Look in /sys/pccard/pcic.c // for the line: // // if (validslots && pcic_irq == 0) // timeout(pcictimeout, 0, hz/2); // // And change the first line to: // if (validslots) It works, it works... BTW: After removing the card once, each time I reinsert or remove it I get a message like this: Slot 0, unfielded interrupt (0) Changing slots disables the message for one insertion/removal, and then it gets back.
