This means the card is correctly accessible to PCI device drivers. This
implies that the PCMCIA/CardBus part of operation went well -- next step is
to track down which PCI device driver is correct for the device. And that's
best addressed somewhere else: Best starting point might be

Google may be helpful as well: I found

So it seems to be an ADMtek 8211 chipset, which leads us back to:

Good luck for getting it to work,
