Unless there's more to it in the way the zaurus using it that regulator
isn't programmable digitally.
Reading about your CF Card WLAN related issues they suck down a good
amount of power when their radio is up, I would definitely suggest
monitoring with a 'scope the various rails (Vcore, RAM and whatever it
is the CF Card is powered by) while putting it under load.
