: Thanks for the quick reply!

Based on what you've provided, here's my current theory of the crime:

(1) The card is inserted.
(2) The bridge somehow thinks it is a X.X V card.  It reports this as
    2V in the dmesg because I arbitarily assigned numbers to X and Y.
(3) There's two ways this can happen.  One: is that new cards have been
    released that implement this standard and your bridge is detecting
    it, but either the card or bridge fails to implement it
    correctly.  Two: There is a problem with the bridge's memory
    allocation, so the cbb driver is really talking to something
    else.  Three: the bridge has a bug in detecting X.X V cards and
    they should be ignored.

I'm guessing 'Three' is most likely.  How's your hacking skills?
