Yes i have been working with TI 1410 for a while without problems althout
seems to be some problems with this TI1410 adapters and some motherboards

Here you have what seems to be the source of the problem as David Hinds
explained in pcmcia list:
"This problem, where the kernel is unable to determine the interrupt
routing for a PCI device, is a limitation of the linux PCI subsystem. It
tends to be motherboard specific because it depends on what information the
BIOS provides. I think the problem most often crops up, these days, with
boards that are designed for ACPI. They provide PCI interrupt information in
ACPI tables, but do not provide a complete or correct PCI Interrupt Routing
Table, which is the only way the kernel currently knows how to fish out this
information."
And seems not to be any easy solution.
