I had similar problems. Under the Sharp ROM the card appeared
intermittently but never worked properly. Under OpenZaurus, it would
never even recognise it. 'cardctl -ident' return nothing.

I returned it. It would appear that there are those who gave got it
working fine and there are those that are having real problems. Maybe
they have a faulty batch.
