It matters which version of the PCMPC100, actually. I've had both v2 and v3 versions of the card, and they use different drivers. Apparently the v1 used a third driver... IIRC, the v2 used a tulip_cb driver. I don't remember the driver for the v3; I can look it up when I get home if it winds up mattering. But in any case, with a recent pcmcia_cs it 'just works'. There is some conflict between the kernel PCMCIA drivers and the pcmcia_cs ones. In order to get it to work I needed to build a kernel without pcmcia support. (Turning off pcmcia support in the kernel means that the modules in the pcmcia_cs package get used, and for many cards that's preferred.)
