Thanks!  That was it exactly.  I made that change and rebooted; dmesg 
now shows these messages that weren't seen before:

Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
  options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:03.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:03.1
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:07.2
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:03.1
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:03.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:07.2
Yenta IRQ list 0218, PCI irq11
Socket status: 3000006
Yenta IRQ list 0218, PCI irq11
Socket status: 3000010

What do these messages mean?  This laptop has two PCMCIA slots, and one 
of them has a 3Com Ethernet card on it; do these messages refer to the 
slots or to the card?

Also, now that I'm not getting error messages out of PCMCIA any more, 
where can I find instructions on how to configure that PCMCIA Ethernet 
card to handle networking?
