My laptop (NEC Versa 4050C / 3.2-RELEASE / PAO3) Does that quite often,
with all of my cards, Including the 3Com 589B.  A lot of times, removing
all PCMCIA cards, killing pccardd and restarting pccardd will resolve the
problem.  This may not help on your current setup, but it works fine for
me.  Even without PAO, it did this.  I just added PAO to see if It would
get my Flash Memory Card working (and it did).
