Ehh ... you miss the point. The problem is NOT missing firmware (I have
already been running with external firmware just fine in 2.6.27). The
problem is that during resume instead of simply resume *existing*
device/driver instance PCMCIA suddenly decides to re-discover the *same*
device yet another again.

This is not supposed to happen. I do not see any changes in
drivers/pcmcia that could be responsible for it - so I suspect there could
be some overall power management changes.

And personally I'd rather turned on debugging options; bisecting will
take ages here. I need some advice which options to turn on.
