This seems to happen when you have a driver compiled into your kernel that something (presumably pccardd in this case) later tries to load again as a module.

The driver is quite happy with 100Mbps, but the Xircom cards' auto-sensing doesn't always work with some hubs/switches. Have you tried forcing the interface into 100Mbps mode rather than leaving it to autoselect?
