Sorry. I was working from memory of last weekend and just now doing a 4.0 upgrade.
Use the "device ep0" line in the kernel config, not zp. Don't fill in the
irq, io, etc. Unfortunately, I'm no expert either. Check the pccard.conf
file and make sure the settings at the top will work for your hardware.
Again, I was working with 3.4-STABLE and things may have improved in this
area since 3.3.
Also, run "pccardc dumpcis" and it should show you what cards are plugged in.

That looks alright to me.
