Can you provide more details for this problem and why we should workaround it here instead of fixing the PCMCIA driver (hardware)? A generic requirement for dynamic power management is the hardware resource should not be touched when you put it in a low power state. In this case, ipw2100 interrupt handler is possibly called (for example, it shares the same IRQ with other devies) and it touches the card register, which will cause problem. A possible workaround is to check the suspend state in the beginning of the ISR and returns IRQ_NONE. But I think freeing the irq handler before suspend should be the right way to go. Thanks, -yi
