Very simple: Because the driver can't read the vendor print on your
card, and it might be from, say, Tekram, and the GPIO pins might 
have been wired differently, and may, for example, attempt to write
some undefined values to your Flash BIOS on the card ;-)

Be aware that this works only with cards with SDMS BIOS (and I'm not
even sure, whether it works with all of them).
