The pcmcia utils - I had no luck with the 3.0.14 - Instead i debianized
the 3.1 pcmcia utils and those worked flawlessly ...
Currently running Toshiba Tecra 8000 and an IBM Thinkpad 390 with
the Cardbus Realport 10/100 + Modem without any problems ...
I worked around the 3.0.14 pcmcia utils bugs by using the
cardctl utility and suspending and resuming the cards. Afterwards
they were detected ok ...
