(wd on pcmcia not detected)

I have similar problem.
I think the problem is that the pcmcia/cardbus driver turns
on and off the device too frequently during probe/attach (kern/8731).

I think we can fix both problems by delaying power down for a while
(say 5s) after power-down requests.

Any pcmcia/cardbus guru?
