PCMCIA Troubles

Okay,
Trying to get pcmcia working on my ASUS L2000B laptop. Upon inserting any one of a number of pcmcia card I get the following error in dmesg:

cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0xffff, device 0xffff
PCI: device 02:00.0 has unknown header type 7f, ignoring.

and a lspci give a:

pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/02/07.2
lspci: Unable to read 64 bytes of configuration space.

The laptop seems to keep working fine, lspci just seems to be unhappy, even after you remove the pcmcia card.

It's all getting a bit anoying. Forcing the correct module to load obviously doesn't help. I've tried using 2.4.20's internal pcmcia support, and 2.4.20 without pcmcia compiled and the latest pcmcia-cs package. Same error. Also tried 2.4.18, same error.

A working lspci:

Not really sure where to go from hear. Had a few pokes around on Google. By the way, works fine under windows, damn it. 

Seeya,
