I've been working with David Hinds about the pcmcia/cardbus problem on my laptop. Most all problems were caused by a port region. The one card that I'm still having problems with is the 3c575 (specifically a 3cxfe575bt). I have seen the oops occur. When I get the oops, I was downloading files from my server at ~7.5mb/sec with lftp and I got 'too much work' errors and the system froze. At that point, physically ejecting the card caused an oops in swapper.
David told me he emailed Donald Becker about it (since it is his driver).
What cardbus controller do you have? Mine is a ricoh rl5c478. You wouldn't mind giving more details about the machine would you?
