Here's something else I found while googling. It's part of a kernel 
config with interesting comments. I included the previous and next 
sections for completeness, but it's the middle section I'm talking 
about. It is from 2000 and it's about PAO stuff so it may not apply now, 
here's where it came from - 
http://www3.tky.3web.ne.jp/~takuroho/files/fiva/TRAJUN


# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support - do not remove.
pseudo-device	card	1

# You must use "flags 0x1" when you don't hear any negotiation noise(?)
# if you use modem card, or pccardd doesn't read cis tuple, tell you 
# 'No card in database for"(null)"("(null)")' in case of Cirrus Logic's 
# pcic is your PC.
#device		pcic0   at isa? port 0x3e0 flags 0x1 irq 11
device		pcic0   at isa? port 0x3e0 irq 11

# Libretto PCMCIA floppy support
controller	fdc1	at isa? disable port "IO_YEFDC" bio irq ?
disk		fd2	at fdc1 drive 0
#disk		fd3	at fdc1 drive 1
options		FDC_YE




For what it's worth, my kernel stuff for pcic says:


# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support
device          card
device          pcic0   at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000
device          pcic1   at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e2 iomem 0xd4000 disable

and my cards (Belkin and a Linksys) work fine. Maybe you want to play
with the port and iomem stuff here? I'm not sure if this area could
still cause the problem. If it was a problem in 2000 it very well
could be fixed now, and may be completely unrelated to your problem.
(but you never know...)
