I talked with several people in the past who had Mona and Layla24
-cardbus version. None of them could make it work. The PCI version
of those cards works fine. Thus I guess the problem is not in the
driver, at least for the two cards above. But since the firmware
loading routine is the same for any card I don't think there is
an indigo-specific bug in this case. So, if it's unlikely it's
driver fault and other people has (partly unresolved) problems
with the PCMCIA interface, I guess the problems stays in the
interface also in this case.

Yes, I'll contact them.

Of course it's possible, but it's very unlikely.
