atmel pcmcia card: MAC failed to boot MAC address reader
Dear Debian people,
On some elderly laptop we have tried to use 3Com 3CRWE62092B Wireless
LAN PC Card. Laptop is running freshly installed Debian etch rc, but it
fails to bring that pcmcia wifi alive, log messages show
,------------------------------------------------
| pccard: card ejected from slot 0
| pccard: card ejected from slot 1
| pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
| pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
| eth1: MAC failed to boot MAC address reader.
| 0.0: RequestConfiguration: Operation succeeded
| eth1: MAC failed to boot MAC address reader.
| 0.0: RequestConfiguration: Operation succeeded
`---
google gives no hints on "MAC failed" messages besides providing a
source code which says about relevant piece:
/* No stored firmware so load a small stub which just
tells us the MAC address */
apparently that stub fails to load or to tell anything... now details:

and I have atmel-firmware package installed.
Any ideas?
ifconfig and iwconfig are silent about eth1
atmel_* drivers are loaded.
