I had similar issues with an hp laptop which was running fedora at the time. It turns out to be the fedora pcmcia config vs the laptop. You can try this /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file, originally posted by Mathieu Lesniak (Thanks Mathieu!) in response to my issue - it forces pcmcia to use a specific irq and memory range, and it Worked For Me (tm)
