Hiya

The error message you're getting is exactly right, the EPIA MII 10k BIOS
seems to give silly-sized memory windows for cardbus devices (that message
got originally added as a result of the driver breaking on my EPIA, the
behaviour was silently failing before that :-) ). Try this in your
modprobe.conf:

install yenta-socket { /usr/local/bin/pci-fix && /bin/true; } && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install yenta-socket

where pci-fix is:

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/setpci -s 0a.0 BASE_ADDRESS_3=0xde011000 2>&1 > /dev/null
/sbin/setpci -s 0a.0 BASE_ADDRESS_4=0xde015000 2>&1 > /dev/null
/sbin/setpci -s 0a.0 BASE_ADDRESS_5=0xde018000 2>&1 > /dev/null

Speaking of which, I'm getting those

"Recently I have access to a couple of cards/boxen that have
the same symptons as other people have reported -
Dropped connections, bouncy bitrate, association problems etc.
This somehow seems related to sleep mode (Note not PSM)"

Disabling WEP seems to help quite a bit, but not completely.
Debug output says the following, is this consistent with the
problems mentioned above?
