3Com pcmcia network card stopped working in 2.4.5-ac12

[Derkjan de Haan]

Hi Alan,

I'd like to report that starting with 2.4.5-ac12 my pcmcia network card 
(3CXFEM656C) doesn't get initialized correctly. I'm using Redhat 7.1

When using modules:

The interesting thing is, that after a /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart, the 
interface comes up.

I'll gladly provide additional logging or whatever may be needed.
