OK, I discovered that as well :) Is this the weirdest PCMCIA-PCI bridge
chip west of the Great Wall of China? In other words: is NEWCARD doomed
forever for this bridge?

At least the experience I have right now is that it works a lot better
with OLDCARD and 5.0 than with 4.7-stable. No watchdog timeouts anymore,
just tx failed, retry etc.

Next step is to see if hostap can be made to work.
