Does it fail to _detect_ the card, or does it simply not _recognize_
it? (`cardctl status` and `cardctl ident` should help to answer this
question.)

Does `cardctl insert` accomplish the same result?
(The question I really mean to ask is, "is this a botched card detect
initialization/interrupt problem, or an attribute memory access
problem?")

(Please forgive me for asking such dull questions, but recently there
have been reports of PCMCIA strangeness on the iPAQ that I am utterly
unable to reproduce on any of the four different SA-1110 designs
available to me. I'm just trying to gather information.)
Do you trust your PCMCIA (hardware) implementation? (i.e., does it work
flawlessly using some other software environment?)
If your PCMCIA implementation was derived from Assabet or Neponset, have
you seen the post on this mailing list (or maybe it was l-a-k) regarding
the excessive pullup resistance on some of the signals from those
designs?
Have you ever attempted to run some earlier Linux kernel version (than
2.4.2) on this hardware?
(Your Socket card is the one which was used to develop the post-Itsy
Card Services port; it _will_ work. We'll get you sorted. =)
