    No, unfortunately they don't help at all, neither individually nor in
    pair. So far, the only working case was replacing

    !is_cardbus ->is_cardbus

    but, of course, this is not a fix because I don't understand it. :(
    I understand that simply treating cardbus bridges as PCI-PCI bridges does
    not work (and actually verified it by trying) but can't say more - I know
    nothing of cardbus bridges (or PCMCIA).

    It would be a shame to revert back to old ways because we have something
    working, we just don't understand why or what is the proper way to do
    it...

    Regards,
    Tigran
