[MLB-WIRELESS] RICOH PCI cradle

[Marian Szczepkowski]

ABIT BP6

Card is found by both RH 7.2, and RH 7.3 but in 7.3 I cannot
compile a new kernel as the box just stops.

In 7.2 the box stops less often but has stopped once.

I have removed the card and all seems to be working well.

No idea what the PCI rev level is no info in the docs.
