I have the same card, with an Asus L2400D on a Debian testing and with a
kernel 2.6.8.1. So our configurations seems to be not too far.

Try to comment ALL the "include" sections, and then uncomment them step by
step.
When I had problems with my card, I search in the kernel and I found in the
file "drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.c" the following code :
/*
* Only probe "regular" interrupts, don't
* touch dangerous spots like the mouse irq,
* because there are mice that apparently
* get really confused if they get fondled
* too intimately.
*
* Default to 11, 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3.
*/
static u32 isa_interrupts = 0x0ef8;
I changed the "0x0ef8" into "0x0000", the card used the IRQ of the pcmcia
socket to communicate with the kernel, and did not disturb the other devices.
