OpenBSD solved this problem by listing this card in
pcmica_cis_quirk.c. Maybe you can try that as an iterrum solution?
That's the short term solution. I really hate the quirks in the
present system and plan on doing something about it.

We just got the ability to dump the CIS out of a card. It is unclear
how we should go about replacing the CIS in the kernel. Do we do this
by loading the CIS in before the card is inserted? Do we keep a
database of bad cards and automatically subsitute the right one? Do
we detach an reprobe the card when a new CIS is loaded in (like your
example above)?
Being able to load CIS in would fix a bunch of multi-function cards
that aren't listed as such (and vice versa).
