Known bug, modular pcmcia is broken, due to unload (or lack thereof) of
the CardBus Watch kernel thread.  Linus has posted several suggestions,
so it just takes someone to stand up and do the work.  I'll probably fix
right before 2.4.0 if noone does step up (please do... my task list is
long enough).
