I have several such devices.

Why do you need to disable CardBus.  The bridge should automatically
detect that it is a R2 card (16-bit) and do the right thing.

In addition to my earlier suggestion, you can enable 'hw.cbb.debug=1'
and 'hw.cardbus.debug=1' and 'hw.pccard.debug=1' and
'hw.pccard.cis_debug=1' for a much more chatty boot.  This won't solve
your problem, but will give me a clue about what might be going on.
