[iPAQ] Socket LP ethernet card fails during boot

My Socket LP CF ethernet card works great on the iPAQ except for when
I boot with the card inserted. Every time I boot with the card
inserted the machine hangs when the card manager services start. It
stays hung until I remove the card. Then, if I insert the card again
it seems to work.

The following messages are from v0.17. I know that v0.17 is still
beta, but I saw the same behavior in v0.15 and v0.16. Also, I noticed
that v0.17 had a new version of card services so I was hoping that
might help. BTW, the screen rotation in v0.17 is *very* cool. :^)
Things should be looking very good once this release is ready, (ie. X
not segfaulting :( on startup).

Here are the boot messages leading up to the hang with the Socket LP
card inserted:

        Starting PCMCIA services: modulesLinux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.20

        cardmgr[101]:

At this point my machine is hung, sometimes with a solid blue screen,
but usually with exciting shifting diagonal lines... 8^)

When I remove the card I see:

        cardmgr[101]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

Hmmm, I wonder why it's seeing it as "Anonymous Memory" rather than
"Socket LP-E CF+ Ethernet"...

Then, when I insert the card again, I get:

        bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: vcc=0 reset=0
        bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: finished
        bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: vcc=33 reset=0

And now everything works. I go through this ritual every time I
boot. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it specific to this card?
Any ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance,
