[Prism54-users] Can't get 3Com OfficeConnect card working.

[Kasper Fischer]

Hi Marijn De=E9,

I did have similar problems with cardbus devices before. The inserted
card where not recognised by lspci. I solved this problem by using the
boot option 'pci=3Dscan-buses,lastbus=3D9,noacpi' You can try to place th=
is
in your /etc/lilo.conf and reboot. Maybe this helps.
