If the card was inserted when you loaded the module this could be the
explination.  It would do that on mine until I stumbled (yes stumbled)
upon a set of lines in my /etc/pcmcia/config file that actually were
correct for my card.  IF however it did this and the card isn't
inserted.  Then it's time to roll your own on the module.
