The pcmcia utils - I had no luck with the 3.0.14 - Instead i debianized the 3.1 pcmcia utils and those worked flawlessly ... Currently running Toshiba Tecra 8000 and an IBM Thinkpad 390 with the Cardbus Realport 10/100 + Modem without any problems ... I worked around the 3.0.14 pcmcia utils bugs by using the cardctl utility and suspending and resuming the cards. Afterwards they were detected ok ...
