The PCI controller in the laptop is PCI1130 from (I believe) TI. The
chipset of the card, I don't know, but if you google it, you find
pages saying "works like a NE2000, module ne.o" or needing the
pcnet_cs driver.
Other info:
If I boot with the card in and Damn Small Linux live cd, I get:
(cardmgr 3.2.2)
cardmgr[55]: socket 0: NE2000 Compatible Ethernet
cardmgr[55]: executing 'modprobe pcnet_cs'
with one beep. At that point it freezes.
This message:
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0305.2/0894.html
hints at similar problems. I am starting to have the bad feeling that
at some point the kernel/pcmcia development (not any distro)
introduced a bug that simply makes some chipset not work anymore...
Some other chipset info here:

TIA for any more feedback.
