SYMPTOMS
========
When you insert a CardBus PC Card in a computer running Microsoft Windows 95 OEM
Service Release 2 (OSR2), the PC Card may not function properly.
CAUSE
=====
This problem can occur when the CardBus PC Card is not enumerated properly. This
issue is known to occur on computers that use the following PC Card controller
chip sets:

CLKRUN is a power-saving feature which turns off the clock signal to PC Cards
when they are not in use. When this feature is implemented by the controllers
listed above, these controllers do not automatically provide the number of clock
cycles most PC Cards need in order to initialize.
RESOLUTION
