Back in May I asked a similar question and got the
following answer from Vincent Wang:

In snv_44, CR6354996 and CR6419924 are still not fixed yet. These bugs can impact cardbus.
The recommended version is still v0.3 at present (Since it's a non-offical version, it includes some hacks to handle these bugs. It's still better right now)

For SPARC, the only version that can be used is the one in snv_44. It was tested on Sun's servers with PCI-to-CardBus adapters but not tested on Tadpole's SPARC laptops yet. (Garrett's offering some help on this)
-----------------------------

Looking at the bug database this morning, it appears that
neither of the above bugs are closed.  So I wonder if one still
should install Cardbus 0.3 in place of the provided pcic on x86
with recent versions of Nevada?
