that's better -- less likely to touch shared video devices

that's better as well -- larger areas of ioports being made available, and
memory windows which are outside a risky area.

Looks like the driver you're using is ndiswrapper, which is unsupported.
Also, the device seems to be detected just fine, else it wouldn't state its
MAC address. Therefore, this doesn't look to be a PCMCIA/CardBus bug. You
should try asking the ndiswrapper list.
