Can you send also the output of lspci and of lsmod?

It would be great to have also a filtered output of dmesg for Cardbus
and/or pcmcia.
Do it before you plug the card so we can see if the PCMCIA is set up properly.

from what I understand here, the powemanagement thing is not working
properly on the device.

Not really, but you can have a look at the opensource driver project
for this card:
http://acx100.sourceforge.net/

I recommend you downloading the tarball with the source and then
reading the entire documentation.
