Meanwhile I checked the HyperNews Forum for PCMCIA and it
seems that somebody else had the same problem with a Toshiba
Tecra 730xcdt - but nobody seemed to have any suggestions.
I guess, I'd better compile pcmcia-cs with the debugging

(But this probably has to wait until I get back from a trip
to the University of Technology Sydney.)
