[ltp] cardmgr monitoring only one pcmcia socket (T30)

[Harry Mangalam]

On my thinkpad (a22p debian 2.6.7), I recently noticed the same thing 
when I needed to transfer some pix on a CF adapter that had always 
been working quite well. The top slot was used by an orinoco wireless 
card, but when I stuck the CF adapter in the lower slot (slot 1, by 
'cardinfo'), there was no familiar double beep.  

At 1st I thought it was just broken hardware, but 'cardctl status' and 
'cardctl info' correctly detects and identifies a card insertion, 
even tho cardinfo does not. dmesg does not report any events for a 
card inserted into slot 1.  

/var/lib/pcmcia/stab lists only the card in slot 0.

/proc interrupts only show an int for slot 0


And in win2k, both slots are recognized and work (as well as they can 
be expected to work anyway).

Any ideas?  fixes?
