This won't work, they are completely different chips.

There are cards with real 21143 in them, and cards with Xircom's
21143-clone (X3201), both should handled by the tlp driver. You seem
to have the latter.

I have a com_cardbus.c laying around here, the reason I haven't
committed it is that I've never been able to make it work properly,
but I can send it to you. (the problem I have is that I seem to get
~8bps when talking to the modem).
