You chopped too much context so I cannot tell what you're referring 
too.  I can only say that I have a T42 running HEAD that doesn't 
recognize an Atheros cardbus card I have.  The same card works in 
another thinkpad w/ a different cardbus chip.  The card works under 
other OS's on the T42 so it's a regression in HEAD (and likely 7.0).

I traced through the code and think I pinned it down to not powering on 
the card on insert but am not certain.
