Our package still does not support multifunction cards.  It needs a
hack to low-level interrupt handler to cope with shared software
interrupts.  That's because PCIC has no capability to allocate
multiple IRQs to one PC-card.

I can't find any config index corresponds to Ethernet interface, and
moreover, function ID says this card is serial cards, not
multifunction cards.  Multifunction cards had had no standard before
PC-card 95 standard, so, the multifunction cards released before this
specification includes per-vendor hacking to PCMCIA standard.

I believe the chipset of this card is sn, but we can't hack it without
vendor's information.  I have not tried to get it.

Multifunction card support is one of our TODO list, but per-vendor
hacking cards are too hard to use it compared to other cards.
