It's good to see that at least that shows up :)

The mechanism is just like for PCI, it's some table with valid IDs. But,
I suggest you don't bother. We haven't speced how to bring up the PCMCIA
core this card must have. Once I can get my hands on one I'll try to
bring it up and spec the remaining things so that we can at least talk
to the wireless chip. It being a 4318 might mean it won't work too well
initially though.
