[ltp] PCMCIA/CardBus not working on T30

[James Mckenzie]

Lewis:

I don't have this problem with a non-cardbus IBM Home and Away card when 
inserted into an IBM A22p or 600E (and did not have this problem when I 
used it with a 760ED under RH 6.3 or 7.0).  All are cardbus capable.

Which card are you trying to use?
