The stumbling block seems to be pcmcia. If we can get pcmcia to load
3c59x.o for all its 3com needs, then there should be no reason why
3c575_cb.o continues to live.

What makes you think this? The source should not need to be compiled
twice. The PCI driver interface is designed to seamlessly support
hotplug and non-hotplug.
