I have noticed that the best pcmcia settings for e.g. those (PCI)
cards used with old cpus (cpu <= P233) are as below:

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS="irq_mode=1 fast_pci=1 freq_bypass=0 cmd_time=3"
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=

The "irq_mode=1" is the most important setting, this enables the PCI
interrupts for cirrus pcmcia controller.
