hub.c is a part of the USB driver.  Something is happening to the USB bus
while the PCMCIA bridge is being probed.

I've seen similar problems.  The symptoms are different, but the hang is
more likely if a 5V card is used and some USB devices are attached.  It
seems that the PCMCIA bridge starts sucking too much power or does
something wrong with the PCI bus.

This problem doesn't happen with the i82365 driver from pcmcia-cs.  Since
you are using a 2.4 kernel it should be possible for you.  Use the
"irq_mode=0" parameter to the i82365 module to force PCI interrupts.

I'm trying to figure out what is wrong in the kernel yenta_socket driver,
but it may take some time.

All you need to do is to find out what i82365 does right but
yenta_socket does wrong.
