I think you need to leave the 'controller card0' line in the kernel config, 
and have *either* the 'device pcicN at card?' stuff statically compiled in
*or* dynamically loaded at boot time.  I've gone the dynamic route and it
seems to be working fine, modulo all the other problems with the PCCARD
code.

I submitted a PR to get this into the ERRATA file, since it seems to be
biting just about everyone...committers?
