Try posting the messages.

Sounds like it should be a supported device. The drivers are probably not
working due to them not being WinXP drivers.

Again, post details of what is output. No-one here can help unless they
have that information!

Post the output of:
# dmesg | grep hcd
# lspci | grep USB
# dump_cis

FWIW, I have a PCI based NEC USB 2.0 controller, which works fine. Your
cardbus device probably uses a similar chip.
