I needed this in my kernel config to get an 3COM PCMCIA Card to work
on my laptop:

options         PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOBASE="0x300"
options         PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOSIZE="0xff"
# For Laptop: Mask out IRQ 10 and IRQ 3 (infrared) and 5 (soundblaster)
options         PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK="0xfbd7"

Feico.
