Yes, it's a bridge with a locked down pcmcia card inside it.

Truth is that I used to (about a year ago) have this card in another machine 
and it was recognised but there was no driver to support it. Now I have it in 
another machine and a driver became available this Spring (though I only 
noticed this week) but I cannot remember or google to find out how to get it 
recognised :(
