Actually, it turned out to be the differing shared RAM address that
I'd mentioned at the end of my note. The card was set up for cc000
and the kernel was set for d8000. Everything worked fine from a
cold boot, but after a warm boot the kernel would not detect the
card again.
I'll have to look through the source for those drivers one day and
see what's up.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.
