I've had one similar report, on a vaguely similar PCI<->PCMCIA bridge. It looks very much as if we're not receiving any interrupts. That would appear to be a low-level problem with routing of interrupts through the bridge. It may well be a PCMCIA subsystem problem rather than a driver problem.

A `cardctl reset' fixes the problem.
Other than the bogus frequecy reported, does the card still work?
