This turned out to be the key...  I think that something needs to be
added to the config file that is included in the package.  The original
config entry looked like this:

card "Linksys NP100 Network Everywhere Ethernet"
  version "Network Everywhere", "*", "*", "AX88190"
  #manfid 0x0149, 0xc1ab
  bind "axnet_cs"

It seems as though the version line is what was mis-identifying the
card.  When I removed the AX88190 entry and changed the bind line to use
pcnet_cs, everything worked fine, even with the manfid line remaining
commented.  My changes work fine in the config file even when the
original entry is there, which leads me to believe that the axnet
version of this card would still work fine.

Should I file a wishlist bug to get my changes included in pcmcia-cs's
version of the config file, or is there a chance that this can break
other cards?

noah
