I was told (by a hardware developer who did a similar broken card) this is
due to the fact that plain old Windows 95 (the first release) can't attach
multi-function cards and working around that in drivers is harder than
breaking it this way.

But I think the right way to handle such cards is to provide a complete
replacement for the CIS info in pcmcia_quirks.c and let it have two
functions at the driver level.

Is this not possible for the Megahertz combo?
