Try removing and re-inserting the card -- then check /var/log/syslog. Your syslog ought to give your product info and and tell you some manfid numbers (manufacturer ID). 

Your Linksys 10/100 card should be supported by the axnet_cs driver.

Check the file /etc/pcmcia/config and see how your syslog output is different than this driver database. Some cards match by manfid numbers, some match by product info strings. My guess is that you have a slightly different card than they have in the /etc/pcmcia/config database. You can add your card description to the file /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and restart pcmcia (/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart) to activate your changes.

Sample card description:

card "National Semiconductor InfoMover 4100 Ethernet"  <- Your name for the card, have fun!! 
  version "National Semiconductor", "InfoMover 4100"   <- exact string matches from syslog output 
  bind "pcnet_cs"                                      <- loads pcnet_cs driver already defined

Hope this helps!
