This looks like a similar problem I had with an AVM B1 PCMCIA ISDN 
controller. I think the "reset" with power down and up again leads to an 
unoperable card. In my situation unloading and reloading the driver let 
the card work.

I made some change to the pccard driver code for testing and without the 
reset everyging was O.K. But with 5.3-STABLE the problem seems to be 
solved, according to a friend of mine.

Maybe updating to 5.3-STABLE also solves Your problem.
