Thanks Larry. "lspci -v" shows the following.

02:0a.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c475 (rev 81)
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 11
        Memory at 20000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Bus: primary=02, secondary=03, subordinate=06, sec-latency=176
        Memory window 0: 20400000-207ff000 (prefetchable)
        Memory window 1: 20800000-20bff000
        I/O window 0: 00004000-000040ff
        I/O window 1: 00004400-000044ff
        16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001

I couldn't find the information you described. But if it works, where
and what name should my data card (3G Wireless modem) be?
