Yes!

I thought I had tested this technique when the 21143-TD CardBus cards first
appeared, and concluded that it didn't work.
But I tested it again today with a modified version of tulip-diag, and it
worked as you described.

I now suspect that I tested it improperly.
I'll work on a cleaned-up version of the EEPROM-read code this week.

[[ I'll be at a conference for the whole week, but I'm taking a collection
of CardBus cards with me.  That means I can't fix any non-21143 problems,
especially PNIC media selection, but I'll have plenty of time to test EEPROM
reads and suspend/resume.]]
