The Accton card that I am using is also a EN2216.  I am
inclined to blame it on the Sony VAIO PCG-723 NotePC that I
am using.  I am wondering whether it is really a weakness of
the NotePC or just a mismatch between the hardware and
pcmcia-2.9.6 (I have a 2.0.30 kernel).  Did anybody else
have trouble with PCMCIA on a VAIO PCG-7xx?

Cheers,

Manuel
