I sent the debug output to Warner privately.  Basically it works when
the card is plugged in during system startup but not when I plug it in
afterwards (doesn't produce any debug messages then either).

This is the output when the card is plugged in during startup:

Status is 0x30000186
Status is 0x30000920
cbb1: card inserted: event=0x00000000, state=30000920
cbb1: cbb_power: 3V
Interrupt storm detected on "irq5:"; throttling interrupt source
cardbus1: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
cbb1: cbb_power: 0V
