Sorry, I was confused anyway. That question is irrelavent. What you need to try is to edit your /etc/pccard.conf file. Copy the entries for those two cards from the /etc/defaults/pccard.conf file, and change one of the entries to use a different interrupt and entry number; eg, if the first card is in the defaults file with config 0x1 "ed" ? then try making it look like config 0x2 "ed" 9 instead. (Actually, what you need to do is to do dmesg | grep irq and see what irqs are free so you can assign one of those. Nine happens to be what worked for me.) Then you just have to play around with it until it works. Of course, you have to restart the pccardd every time you change these. You might be able to get this all easier by using "pccardc enabler" until you find workable parameters rather than messing with pccard.conf right off the bat, but I didn't personally stumble across pccardc enabler 'til after I had might working. PS: Mine only had an IRQ conflict. It's possible that yours will solve the memory conflict itself if you fix the IRQ conflict. After all was said & done, mine actually was fixed by putting just this in the pccard.conf: irq 3 9 It's possible that this is all you need--to explicitly list the non-conflicting IRQs in your system.
