USB mistery is yet to be solved.
ALSA is apparently due to the fact that core is compiled in and not a module
from your description it sounds like _some_ pcmcia modules are loaded before
pcmcia starts and that makes pcmcia initscript terminate early; service -f
unloads and reloads them and it works again (remaining problem why you need
resit your card. but I do not have pcmcia experience to make any conclusion
here). could you please somehow check (make something like lsmod >
/tmp/module.pcmcia) which modules are there when pcmcia starts? If you also
find out why and when they are loaded ... :)
