Hmm... there was substantial progress put back _after_ snv_44. I
haven't checked the bugs database, but I would prefer not to use cardbus
0.3 unless you want to try it after determining that what is in snv_49
isn't working for you.
Cardbus on SPARC works on some platforms, but not all. I'll be working
on addressing the issues with our other, remaining, SPARC platforms.
