Sounds to me like the card isn't being restarted correctly. Have you tried
using cardctl or cardinfo to reset the card? If that fails, have you tried
simply popping the card out and inserting it again?
If that still doesn't solve things, you might check out the pcmcia message
lists and post your previous message at:
