Maybe remove the '#' before the manfid ???

It should work, but make sure you have the following in your config
file:

- The product definition with manfid line and bind line (as you have
  above)

- The device entry at the top op pcmcia/config:
device "axnet_cs"
  class "network" module "axnet_cs"


- Restart the pcmcia subsystem
	/etc/init.d/pcmcia stop / start
