Russel,

I posted to linux-ide with no response. I'd like to point out that
cardctl status shows:
[bat dead], [bat low]
which doesn't make since since there is no battery in these things

	I don't know whether this changes things from you perspective but I've
hit a dead end. If you know of any other routes to take, or more
debugging or research  I can do please let me know( e.g. kernel
internals documentation) 
Many thanks,
