It is not pcmcia card. It is a internal wireless network interface in
IBM ThinkPad X30 (2672-4EJ). 
The dmesg says:
	wi0 at pci1 dev 2 function 0: Intersil Prism2.5 Wireless Lan
	wi0: interrupting at irq 11
	wi0: 802.11 address 00:05:3c:06:32:c9
	wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
	wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.0), Station (1.4.9)
	wi0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

I would like to know someone use the wirelss card (Intersil Prism2.5
w/ PCI interface) without problem...  I have no more PCI wireless card.

Is the problem related to PCI configuration?
