I implemented Alan Shutko's suggestion, and now my
Linksys EtherFast 10&100 + 56K PC Card (PCMLM56) works
perfectly.

Thanks!

For posterity, here's my /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
----

#
include port 0x100-0x4ff  # Or else Linksys modem will not work
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff

#
# First built-in serial port
exclude irq 4
exclude port 0x3f8-0x3ff

# Second built-in serial port
# exclude irq 3   # optional
