2.3.45 -- Problem getting my PCMCIA modem to work.

I am one of the folks who have been having keyboard/mouse lockups
in the 2.3.38+ kernels. The lockups would occur when Yenta/Cardbus
were built into the kernel.

With 2.3.45 and Cardbus support built as a module, my keyboard and
mouse work, even after I have run:

modprobe pci_socket
modprobe ds

I can insert my 3c575bt adapter and it appears to be recognized
correctly. I don't know if it is actually working, because my
LAN is at work.

When I insert my PCMCIA modem, the device is not recognized
and I get "Cannot map memory" errors from card services.

Here's the snippet from dmesg:

Any idea what I need to get my modem working?

As you can see, I still get keyboard errors listed during
boot. As far as I can tell, my keyboard is working fine
during actual use.

Thanks,
Miles
