I had to look to the windows cardbus device properties to get it work, but i think that by playing with some values you can get it working too without needing that crappy OS.
My Excuse: The reason i looked into windows whas that i was setting up a laptop whith the host_ap module support and i needed it working for giving a wireless talk and had no time to play. :-)

Maybe is that the kernel fits a region of memory originally reserved for the cardbus as is defined in config.opts. Maybe because those new kernel are a few Kb bigger than before one's.
Remembering this thing makes me think that this "issue" is more a pcmcia_cs thing than a kernel/driver one.
Hope it helps you or any other developer/list__member here.
PD: Excuse my poor english.
