My current problem is not so much lack of bus speed but being able to talk
to the card at all. The AST J10 doesn't use the hard-coded addresses at port
0x3Cx as implemented in the existing pccard driver. It seems to use a PCI
bridge and the PCMCIA controller (a Cirrus 672x) which appears at port
0xfcfc. Attempts to probe for more than two cards hang the laptop :-(

Having found that, I now have some diagnostics about not being able to
assign an I/O port .. it's getting there ..

The symptoms are identical with the D-link 650CT and the 3C589C,
