According to 3c589_cs.c

PCMCIA_MFC_DEVICE_CIS_MANF_CARD(0, 0x0101, 0x0035, "3CXEM556.cis"),
PCMCIA_MFC_DEVICE_CIS_MANF_CARD(0, 0x0101, 0x003d, "3CXEM556.cis"),

the cis files are only needed for '0x0101, 0x0035' and '0x0101, 0x003d' 
when yours is '0x0101, 0x0562' then it _not_ need any substitutive cis.

So both functions are recognised and correct drivers are loaded. Seems 
not be pcmcia problem then?

I think you should remove any quotations to 3c589_cs.ko or to 
serial_cs.ko (pppd should bring up ppp0) from modprobe.conf.

Should the serial/modem device be initially /dev/ttyS0 or similar? So no 
new /dev/ttyS? device appears when the card is plugged in? I guess the 
/dev/modem is usually only symbolic link to /dev/ttyS?. It's should be 
udev's job to bring up a new device node.
