This is (as you say) a CardBus card. CardBus is not supported on
V4. It is supported on V5. I believe the RealTek chip is now
supported, but I can't confirm it. But to get ANY CardBus card to
work, you need V5 with NEWCARD (NEWCARD is the default in V5).

Note: NEWCARD is VERY different from the system in STABLE. Pay
attention to the comments in GENERIC and don't try using pccardd. It
is not part of NEWCARD.

There would not appear to be any chance of getting any CardBus device
to ever work on V4.
