Laptop ACPI issues

[Lyndon Drake]

Hi,

I've just installed Ubuntu on my laptop (a Toshiba Portege 3480CT, P3
600 Speedstep with 196MB RAM and a 40 GB disk).  I am having problems
with ACPI and cardbus.

If I let the default setup boot, ACPI is not enabled because the BIOS is
from 2000.  In this case, the computer runs extremely slowly, but it
does work.  I can enable APM by modprobe'ing the apm module and starting
apmd, which lets me suspend the machine (though it doesn't detect lid
closure).

If I boot with acpi=force, ACPI loads up and the whole computer runs
much faster.  However, my cardbus network cards fail to operate.  I have
a 3Com 10/100 card and a Cisco Aironet 350 wireless card.  It looks like
for some reason the ACPI stuff is causing cardbus cards to get allocated
IRQ 0 when they are plugged in, which doesn't work.  I've appended the
trimmed dmesg output below.

Can anyone make a suggestion?

Regards,
Lyndon
