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.
