Could you include the information below and the output of cardctl
status please?

I think I can tell you what's happening.  Your card contains two
configuration table entries (0x30 and 0x31).  The first, 0x30,
tells us that the card supports 3.3V in this configuration.  The
second indicates that the card supports 5V with this configuration.

I suspect that the card voltage sense pins are indicating that the
card requires 5V, but we're trying to use the 0x30 configuration.
Since we don't allow the socket voltage to be altered, we error out
and never try the second configuration.

David, I think it would make sense to allow the PCMCIA subsystem to
lower VCC in these circumstances, but obviously never allow it to be
raised above the value reported by the voltage sense pins?
