I followed the traces as best I could before cutting them, and spent a good day or so reading up on cardbus modded PowerBooks before doing it, and it seemed the correct thing to do to enable cardbus. Well, that sounds like the same thing I did, but I only cut the wires on the top side of the logic board not the underside, and mine has worked great with my firewire card for 2 years now.
