It is a big-endian/little-endian bug in how the lan_speed tuple is
parsed.  I'll fix it.  It is completely harmless.

Well, the way to verify this would be compare the timings in the
PCMCIA electrical specification, with the timings you observe with a
logic analyzer.

I'm not sure.

You need an /etc/pcmcia/config file that lists the card(s) you want to
use.
