You can try out two things:

either:

# mv /etc/pcmcia/config.opts /etc/pcmcia/config.opts.unused

[as the CardBus bridge is not on the root PCI bus, we can auto-configure it.
Therefore we do not need this resource database. But we can still use it...]

or:

edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and remove the line 
include ports 0x800-0x8ff
or modify it to read
include ports 0x820-0x8ff


Hope this helps,
