I got a TI  cardbus controller PCI1520IPDV working in a embedded PPC 
system with little modifications to kernel 2.4.25, but i didn't found a common  
configuration for the I/O-space that works for all type of cards (cardbus and  
pcmcia). I tested some pcmcia cards, like WLAN, Ethernet, pcmcia harddisk 
and CF-Adapter with a different kernel configuration as for cardbus cards.
