No, nothing happens. Nothing new in dmesg either.

Yes I do. This is where I started. I verified I had that patch, then I
tried this network card, because I assumed (from the cnet16.device
requirement) that it needs 16bit accesses, so might be affected by this
fix.

I verified it again, yes I compile version 1.29.4.3 of gayle_pcmcia.c

Ok, I added it, here's the extra info:

pcmcia0 at pccard0
pcmcia0: CIS version unknown (major=1, minor=0)
pcmcia0: CIS info: PCMCIA, Fast-Ethernet, ,
pcmcia0: Manufacturer code 0xffff, product 0x1090

Well, I've seen some of the HW description structures setting this flag
explicitly, so maybe it's not trivial to detect.
