Well, if I remember it correctly the problem was that the driver always blocks 
when asked for the presence of a card in case there is no card (it then seems 
to just wait until a card is available). I didn't investigate it further, but 
maybe it is interesting to do so...

Unfortunately, this is the only PCMCIA reader I know. I have a GemPC Card, 
though, but I don't think it worked under Linux...
