Hi everyone.
I recently purchased a (NEC-chipset-based) PCMCIA-USB2.0 adapter card for my laptop, which only has a single USB 1.1 port.
I am completely stumped by this card; it itself is detected fine, but nothing happens when I plug devices into it, although it is electrically "on": the power LED on one of my USB hubs lights up for a fraction of a second as the hub initialises, then turns back off as the hub figures out it's not connected to a "live" port.
In a nutshell:
Nothing happens. No HDD seeking, nothing in dmesg, nothing in /var/log/*, nothing printed to the screen with LogLevel set to 9 via Shift+SysRq+9. The most I've managed to do is "echo on > /sys/bus/pci/<I forget what>/usb4 (the USB 2.0 controller endpoint)/power/level", which (using the card reader again) makes the status LED go off, which I've learned
P) means my card reader is initializing... then I get a bunch of initialization errors (I think error -110) in dmesg.
I've posted the output of dmesg, lspcmcia, lspci and lsusb below, as well as a link to my kernel .config.
The dmesg log traces bootup, card detection, connecting a card reader to the internal USB 1.1 port, and 'pccardctl eject'/'pccardctl insert'-cycling the card.
I should point out that 'lsusb' can sometimes hangup the terminal it runs from, although I haven't tracked down exactly what causes this. Note also that the first NEC USB controller listed in lsusb is the one built into the laptop (yes, an interesting coincidence); the last three (yes, all three) are what the card adds.
Finally, I've seen as I've variously browsed around that the card seems to enumerate to 5 ports for other people; it only physically has two, although I'm seeing 5 here as well.

A couple of (presumably) relevant lines (what does the last one mean?):
lspcmcia -vvv: ("ready: no"?!)

Relevent sections follow.

Too big to post any of it here IMHO

Thanks for your time looking forward to your replies and any suggestions you might have!

I recently purchased a (NEC-chipset-based) PCMCIA-USB2.0 adapter card for my laptop, which only has a single USB 1.1 port.

In a nutshell:
- I've installed the drivers from the supplied CD on Win98 and the card does initialize; my card reader happened to be handy at the time, and I could see the files on the CompactFlash card in it just fine.
- I have an old PCMCIA network card lying around which I don't have the special cable for, but inserting this card autoloads the correct network driver, so I know that PCMCIA is configured and working correctly.
- I'm using Slackware 12.2 with a 2.6.27.7 kernel; I know this isn't the newest, but I've stuck with this kernel because it's the oldest (smallest) kernel which supports my Wi-Fi dongle via the rt73usb driver, and this laptop has some kind of hardwre memory issue and refuses to work with more than 32MB of RAM. It also happens to be the official kernel release provided with Slackware 12.2
- I compiled a 3.2.29 kernel a while ago to test the s3virge driver; that didn't work out so I switched back to 2.6.27.7, but I left 3.2.29 installed "just in case" I'd ever ned it (!) - I tried inserting the card while running that, and.... same outcome: no response.
