 The question was more: does the cardbus/pcmcia bridge work for pcmcia cards
 at all? The symptoms you saw could be explained if the pcmcia bus spaces
 were not mapped at the right place or inaccessible (and I have seen that
 happen in the distant past.
 
 Or put the other way around: are we looking at a problem in the pcmcia driver
 or the pcmcia/cardbus bridge driver. If the same card works better in your
 Jornada running NetBSD current this gives a strong hint.
