I cannot start PCMCIA on x86-64 SuSE 9.3 on Asus L5D. Apparently, the following
command:

sh -c modprobe --ignore-install firmware_class; echo 30 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout

loops forever with almost 100% of the time spent in the kernel.

AFAICS, 2.6.13-rc6-mm2 is also affected, but the mainline kernels are not.

Greetings,
Rafael
