[realtek] Resource allocation errors

[Daemion .]

Hi David,
It is a Cardbus network card.

It was put out by Surecom, the model is an EP-428x.

What is responsible for the Cardbus bridge control?  Something in the card 
itself, or something to do with the socket the card plugs into?

I'm currently running Debian v3.0 r0 (woody) with a 2.2.20 kernel.  I tried 
an installation with the bf24 flavour (2.4 kernel) and I think I had about 
the same amount of luck.

Could it even be something weird with the card itself?
