Initialization problems with wireless mini-pci card

I recently purchased a Dell 600m. The laptop came with an Intel
Pro/Wireless 2100 mini-pci card which I knew did not have linux
support. I purchased what I believe to be a TrueMobile 1150 mini-pci
card on eBay and have had problems getting it working.

I have been using the 2.4.* series kernel with kernel modules for
support. The card is reported to work with the orinoco_cs module.
The following dmesg output summarizes my problem - it appears to be a
timeout during a register reset in hermes.c.


hermes.c: 4 Dec 2002 David Gibson <(E-Mail Removed)>
orinoco.c 0.13d (David Gibson <(E-Mail Removed)> and
others)
orinoco_cs.c 0.13d (David Gibson <(E-Mail Removed)> and
others)
hermes @ IO 0x100: Timeout waiting for card to reset (reg=0x0000)!
eth1: failed to initialize firmware (err = -110)
orinoco_cs: register_netdev() failed


Any help is appreciated.

For reference, I have already tried:
+ kernel 2.6.0-test4
+ pcmcia-cs drivers
+ linux-wlan-ng

The same problem appears with all of the above drivers.

cardctl ident produces:

Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
product info: "O2Micro", "SmartCardBus Reader", "V1.0"
manfid: 0xffff, 0x0001
Socket 2:
product info: "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE", "Version
01.01", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
