It's strange, but a day later the card started working and the driver
lights up the correct led.  I haven't seen the problem since.  All I
can figure is that recompiling the kernel instead of using the stock
kernel, or inserting pcmcia cards in a different order changed
something.

If I can find a way to reproduce it I'll let you know.  In the mean
time I'll just attribute it to Heisenberg.

Thanks for the response.
