The card times out, except the system semi-hangs before completely booting
(ctrl-alt-del is ignored, alt-sysrq is processed)

No change, from before. The card times out, but otherwise the system
functions normally without connectivity.

This looks like it's on the right track, doing "cardctl status 0" I get:

  5V 16-bit PC Card
  function 0: [busy], [bat dead], [bat low]

With the card working properly I get:

  3.3V CardBus card
  function 0: [ready]

Also, just noticed when the pcmcia driver is unloaded after the card times
out the following debug is printed, the address is always the same:

Trying to free nonexistent resource <03e0-03e1>

Thanks,
