Linux ThinkPad wiki

Adding "irqpoll" seems to sort it out I stumbled into this when upgrading from Ubuntu Hoary to Breezy. All of a sudden, my CardBus adapter stopped working. This isn't a screen issue; I don't even run X, let alone gdm, on this box. I tried different things like a crazed monkey for several days until I tried a lucky combination of the irqpoll kernel argument and ... I think a particular card -- the ones I dare not try again are a DWL-650+ wireless card and an Intel e100 ethernet card; the one I managed to get to work is a 3com 3c59x, identified as "3CCFE575BT" by cardctl ident. Update: I posted a bug report about this:

Apparent collection of IBM ThinkPad download packages Including the enigmatic uttpcdos.exe utility, which contains the PS2.exe program which appears to be the only thing on this planet which can create a hibernation file for a 600E. Must. Have.
