Let me stress that it is the socket which is not recogniyed, not a
card in the socket:

--------------------------------------------
knoppix@ttyp1[knoppix]$ cardctl status
Socket 0:
  no card
Socket 1:
  5V 16-bit PC Card
  function 0: [ready]

knoppix@ttyp1[knoppix]$ cardctl ident

  manfid: 0x0101, 0x0589
  function: 6 (network)

knoppix@ttyp1[knoppix]$ cardctl config
Socket 0:
  not configured
Socket 1:
  Vcc 5.0V  Vpp1 0.0V  Vpp2 0.0V

It looks OK for me:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
knoppix@ttyp1[knoppix]$ cat /proc/interrupts

I don't mind experimenting with yenta_socket, but I don't know how to
force it as the preferred module. Besides, with 3c589_cs the card is
working OK in socket 0 and 1. I am using it now to send this email.

I don't use Cardbus cards in my experiments.

Just in case it can be of some use:
