Cardbus is basically PCI in a pcmcia form-factor, so real cardbus cards
probe like PCI devices and unlike 16-bit PCMCIA cards.  It looks like you
have some extra bits being set, so that's problem one, but the real issue
is that there isn't a cardbus driver that matches that card (and since 
IIRC that's done via manf./product id's, both of which are 0 here, it
is unlikely something will match that card).

Finally, stepping up a level, I don't think we support (AFAICT) the TI 
802.11 chipset, and from things I've heard (second hand, so YMMV), there
is not likely to be one due to TI's disinclination to release docs.
