I saw this, too, on a VAIO PCG-F540 and -370 that i'd successfully run
Lucent Wavelans since 1.5-alpha3.  I never get the `cbb0: wait took
x.yzw sec' completion message when the wi is probed--- until and
unless I pull the wi device. (Seems I consistently wait 12 seconds...)

dmesg says:

cbb0 at pci0 dev 12 function 0: Ricoh 5C478 PCI-CardBus bridge (rev. 0x80)
cbb1 at pci0 dev 12 function 1: Ricoh 5C478 PCI-CardBus bridge (rev. 0x80)

Same exact devices work perfectly in a similar-age IBM Thinkpad 600x,
which has the TI PCI1450 bridge.
