The problem (finding my Linksys Ethernet combo card) is solved in the latest 
version (3.1.29) of pcmcia-cs, which has not yet been packaged for Debian.  
This card is one of many which use the 'pcnet_cs' driver.  In the
current (3.1.28) version of pcmcia-cs, there was a bug in the file
which is installed on Debian systems as /etc/pcmcia/config.  This stanza
has a remark symbol incorrectly placed:

card "Asix AX88190 Fast Ethernet"
  # version "Fast Ethernet", "16-bit PC Card", "*", "AX88190"
  manfid 0x0149, 0xc1ab
  bind "axnet_cs"

should be:

card "Asix AX88190 Fast Ethernet"
  version "Fast Ethernet", "16-bit PC Card", "*", "AX88190"
  # manfid 0x0149, 0xc1ab
  bind "axnet_cs"

This problem will disappear from the boot-floppies package as soon as
pcmcia-cs version 3.1.29 replaces the current version.


Thanks to John Robinson for his help, which did eventually help lead to 
this solution.
