Not too enthusiastic though... IRQ0! I had that fun here last night - it
means an IRQ isn't being assigned to the card. It might be interrupt
problems or anything. Are there any sites out there about linux on your
laptop? They might have something about this.

Other than that, what kernel are you running? I was using 2.2.20 and
having this sort of trouble, but a quick switch to 2.4 series (and
the yenta_socket module rather than i82365) fixed things well enough for
me to write this.

You're on the right track...

This is due to IRQ0.
