The card's a "Megahertz (CC10BT/2)", according to pccardd. I had to manually
put the IRQ in the /etc/pccard.conf file. The kernel code is from the
PRE_SMPng tag. Hmmm - I kind of suspect interrupt issues. The dmesg is as
follows, the card doesn't seem to load up if I dont have a "device sn" in the
config file. I'm not sure why it's not seen when loaded as a module. I do have
"COMPAT_OLDISA" and "COMPAT_OLDPCI" defined in there (don't ask, I think I was
planning on using the old sound drivers at one stage). This may be why
interrupts are being dropped.
