you didn't mention which flavour (if any) you were using.

i found something similar with my Xircom CreditCard Ethernet CE3B-100BTX
card - some versions (3.1.28) of pcmcia-card-services detect it as a
memory card.
however, i found that compiling the 3.1.22 modules, and using it with
the 3.1.28 cardmgr (as is found on bf-3.0.13 and greater) provides
satisfactory results.
to gain even more feedback as to what is going on, either start a shell,
or go over to VC2 and start the shell there, and check the output of
dmesg.
