Re: 3c575 ifconfig oops / segmentation fault with 2.0.85

I have not used or tried 3c575.  What I can do is try rebuilding the
pcmcia stuff, the kernel has been rebuild since I built the pcmcia
stuff which could have broken something (though probably not).  Try
looking for a newer one in a couple of days.  It may be also you need
cardbus.o in addition to cb_enabler.o?  Try that too. -Tom
