I see something similar on my Acer Aspire 1300XV.

On 2.4 everything seems to be working properly (except that i have to
eject and insert it twice to get the card up and running (more people have
reported this issue, I think). In 2.6 things aren't working that well..

And it keeps doing that until I restart cardmgr. After that:

And it's working properly. Except for the insert-twice-issue.. dmesg
attached.

Here is lspci -vvv for the cardbus:
