The device in my HP nw8240 notebook is a Texas Instruments 7621. This
device is a multi-function PCI device with a CardBus, firewire, Flash
Media and SD controller. The only way that I could get this driver to
work for me is to disable SD card detection on the Flash Media
controller, which is function 3 :

pcitweak -w 02:06:03 -b 0x4c 0x02

Thanks for the great work!
