What version of Debian do you use?

I've had similar problem but with different card and I think it's not
related to the card itself. The problem is in pcmcia initialization
scripts. I did solve it somehow ~8 months ago. However after recent
upgrade to unstable, problem disappeared.

To find out you can do following: boot linux with the card taken out,
then when system is operational, put the card in. If it works, then
it's the same problem I had.

Good luck,
Peter.
