It is very hard for me to deal with bug reports for PCMCIA in the 2.3.* kernel tree. Partly because the 2.3.* code doesn't work with my laptops. But also because I can't tell if bugs are specific to 2.3.* or are general PCMCIA driver problems. It would be very useful for you to determine if these problems are specific to the 2.3.* tree, or if they also occur with a stable kernel and the latest stable PCMCIA driver package. And then I'd want to see comparisons of system log messages with the old drivers and with 2.3.*.
There are some new D-Link DFE-650 cards that require some special transceiver tweaking at initialization time. I don't have a general solution yet, partly because I don't actually have one of these cards yet.
