Here's my config.opts:

        #
        # Local PCMCIA Configuration File
        #
        # System resources available for PCMCIA devices
        #
        include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff
        include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff
        include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff
        #
        # Extra port range for IBM Token Ring
        #
        include port 0xa00-0xaff
        #
        # Resources we should not use, even if they appear to be available
        #
        # First built-in serial port
        exclude irq 4
        # Second built-in serial port
        exclude irq 3
        # First built-in parallel port
        exclude irq 7
        #
        # Examples of options for loadable modules
        #
        # To fix sluggish network with IBM ethernet adapter...
        #module "pcnet_cs" opts "mem_speed=600"
        #
        # Options for Xircom Netwave driver...
        #module "netwave_cs" opts "domain=0x100 scramble_key=0x0"
        #
        # Options for IBM Token Ring adapters
        module "ibmtr_cs" opts "mmiobase=0xd0000 srambase=0xd4000"

That last line turned out to be crucial, have you tried that one?
