pcmcia issues [FC1]

I have a machine with a pcmcia slot, which is misbehaving. It is running
FC1.

First off, Card Services complains upon startup:

Jul 14 11:24:58 jane kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
Jul 14 11:24:58 jane kernel:   options:  [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
Jul 14 11:24:59 jane kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 7 for device 01:07.0
Jul 14 11:24:59 jane kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 7 with 00:1f.2
Jul 14 11:24:59 jane kernel: Yenta IRQ list 0000, PCI irq7
Jul 14 11:24:59 jane kernel: Socket status: 30000011
Jul 14 11:25:02 jane kernel: cs: socket c6e3b000 timed out during reset.
Try increasing setup_delay.

It's not completely clear to me how to increase setup_delay. I tried:
/etc/modules.conf:
alias pcmcia_core /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcmcia_core
setup_delay=1000

but this does not work.

Anyway, manually increasing it (/etc/init.d/pcmcia stop; modprobe
pcmcia_core setup_delay=1000; /etc/init.d/pcmcia start) does not help.

>From the searching I've done, it seems that this timeout during reset is an
issue with card insertion, but I'm seeing it before inserting any card.

Secondly, and this may be more of a Fedora issue, another error is:
Jul 14 11:25:02 jane cardmgr[7685]: Card Services release does not match

According to what I've read, this comes up if there is a mismatch between cs
drivers and kernel drivers. But this is a vanilla FC1 installation, there
are no cs drivers, cs instead uses the kernel drivers. So I don't know why
any mismatch could occur.

Thanks for any assistance,
Mark Lanett
