I get a:
Card inserted, slot 0
then nothing else... if I remove the card, then reinsert it... then
it comes up fine..

yeh.. I was thinking that might be the case... basicly the removal of
the card would release the interrupt, which would enable the second time
I insert the card to work...
I might take a look at what's up, but the major problem is that I don't
have enough hard disk space on my notebook (340megs isn't much), and
working/looking at code over a 500ms latency connection isn't fun...

that makes it work the first time I insert the card..
