I tried this on my system (a sony vaio PCG-XG18) which has a mini-docking station on the back of it (which allows you access to a third pcmcia slot, and a whole slew of other video goodies/serial ports/etc.). The problem is if the mini docking station isn't there, all the parts/chips/controllers are internal to the laptop, so it still sees them. The cardbus code sees the second controller (which drives the third slot) and than gracefully pukes all over it's self. So unless I have the mini docking station plugged in it doesn't work. But if it is, I can use my xircom rbem56g-100 and a linksys cardbus card just fine. I do however lose the ability to use my wavelan card and my two other pcmcia cards (non cardbus). I can't wait until all these issues are resolved (I really don't wanna run Linux again). This is just a FYI.
