	From my experience, most board that have ISA slots don't
assing interrupts properly to PCI-Pcmcia bridges. I had to hack my
kernel to force the interrupt assignement on the PCI-Pcmcia bridge.
	After that, it's only a matter of loading both modules. I use
the following patch to my /etc/init.d/pcmcia, but I guess hotplug
would make that unnecessary...

	Have fun...
