I had a similar problem with a debian machine. I solved it by
starting some ide driver modules in a different order.

Make sure you compiled your kernel with DMA Support
Device Drivers --->
<*> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
...
[*] PCI IDE chipset support
...
[*] Generic PCI bus-master DMA support
...
[*] Use PCI DMA by default when available
...
Also know your laptop. There are some other options under "ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL
support" specific to hardware. You may have to select the appropriate so you can
use DMA. For example my laptop is a Compaq Presario r3000 model and the
motherboard is a nVidia nForce3, so I selected in "AMD and nVidia IDE support".
I hope I'm not wrong, and I hope this helps.

I have a Linksys PCMCIA WPC55AG NIC. This is supported by the madwifi driver.
My problems are thus:
- The ath_pci module is not automatically loaded by whatever manages
the PCMCIA slots (pcmciautil?).
- If I modprobe the module manually it loads and seems to talk to the
card (the link light starts flashing).
- When I run init.d/net.ath0 start, it hands then times out when
starting wpa_supplicant.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
Tim
