In case you're still looking for a solution, reverting to 2.4.26 fixes
the problem for me.  Here's what I did:

- Point apt at sid
  If you have a /etc/apt/sources.list line like this:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free

  edit it and change "sarge" to "sid"

- Run "apt-get update"
- Run "apt-get install kernel-{image,pcmcia-modules}-2.4.26-1-686"

Only trouble with this is that alsa-modules-2.4.26-1-686 does not exist
in sid, so you won't be able to use alsa with 2.4.26...
