we don't yet support that card, which is indicated by the "no media found"
message.  however, we should fix it so that for such cards, the device
instance is just detached rather than being left around to cause trouble.
further, I have one of these cards and some hints from a linux driver
on how to add support to our driver for it, so when I get a bit of time
I'm going to see about getting it working.
