SYMPTOMS
CardBus cards may not work on computer with a Vesuvius chip set.

CAUSE
The Vesuvius PCI IRQ miniport driver (Pcimp.pci) does not support the SetTrigger and GetTrigger functions that report and set level-triggered interrupts. In order for the CardBus bridge to be configured for a CardBus card's memory and I/O windows, CardBus cards require level-triggered interrupts.

This issue is resolved by the following updated file for Windows 95 OSR2, and later versions of this file:

  PCIMP.PCI  version 4.00.1114  dated 9/4/97  7,648 bytes

 * 2) Click the Device Manager tab.
 * 3) Double-click the System Devices branch to expand it.
 * 4) Double-click PCI Bus, and then click the IRQ Steering tab.
 * 5) Click the Use IRQ Settings check box to clear it, click OK, and then click OK.
 * 6) Restart your computer.
