I have a 3CCFE575CT, kernel 2.4.22, Debian unstable, working fine. I got rid
of the pcmcia-cs package and am using the kernel hotplug facilities along with
the hotplug package. IIRC, I had trouble using pcmcia-cs with the 2.4 kernel.
I have the following in my kernel config:
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_3COM=y
CONFIG_VORTEX=m
