I checked the kernel bugzilla and found the following:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1840

It seems to approximately describe my problem. I tried the attached patch and 
got (what seems to be) a little further. However, now dmesg reports the 
following:

PCI: cardbus bridge: 0000:01:07.0
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 7(2000000) for 0000:01:07.0
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 8(2000000) for 0000:01:07.0
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 10(1000) for 0000:01:07.0

Before getting to init. prism.ko now loads, however;

Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.1
eth1: prism54 driver detected card model: 3COM 3CRWE154G72

The card doesn't work, however, as hotplug won't upload the firmware and 
ifconfig eth1 up doesn't do anything. The card still appears dead to the 
world.

Since the cardbus bridge shares an IRQ with my video card, when I start X I 
get:

Assuming someone else called the IRQ
Assuming someone else called the IRQ

Thousands of times. The message doesn't stop until I unplug the card.
