>Description:
CIS_MAXSTR is defined as 30 in /usr/src/usr.sbin/pccard/pccardd/readcis.h.
Certain PCMCIA cards (eg. The Intel EtherExpress Pro Mobile 10/100) contain
strings in their CIS tuples that are longer than 30 characters. In the case
of the Intel there's a 48 byte string, other cards may have longer strings.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run pccardd, insert a PC card with a CIS string longer than 30 characters.
>Fix:
Bump the value of CIS_MAXSTR upwards. The maximum possible amount of data in
a CIS tuple is 254 bytes, so this should be enough to cover anything...
The following patch does the necessary:

struct tuple {
struct tuple *next;
unsigned char code;
