You mean adding this to the 2399p3 code would show some more results?
Have to try.

The IRQ is wrong, but when I run the pcmcia_cs package the IRQ got on
22/23 as expected from ti1131. And as long as it works without
bombing....

Well here  I have to clarify, the patch I spoke about I only applied to
2215p14 and not to the 2399p3 where the PCI-fixup is added.

I have to play around with the sources.
Hope so today.
