This sounds like the cards are being run at too high a bus frequency.
If you can alter your BIOS settings to slow down the bus it should go
away. Many pc cards cannot run reliably at bus speeds over 8MHz
(AT-clock).
Followups redirected to comp.os.linux.help, although a hardware group
is more appropriate.
