Thanks Jar,

I put

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=pd6729
PCIC_OPTS="irq_mode=0"

into /etc/default/pcmciautils, and this did seem to get rid of "setup_irq: irq handler mismatch" in the syslog right after pd6729 detection, but card/hostap_cs behavior is unchanged after this. The card does not load automatically, and after "modprobe hostap_cs" I believe I get exactly the same errors as before:
