What if CONFIG_PCMIA=m, and CONFIG_APNE=y?

Can't you avoid the cast, by changing the type of cftable_entry?
Perhaps you don't want to do that, to avoid abusing it below, but
perhaps you can use container_of() instead of the cast?

I think you should reset apne_100_mbit to zero if apne_100_mbit < 0
&& !pcmcia_is_16bit(), so rmmod + switching card + modprobe
has a chance to work.
