Looks to be nearly right

Where did you get the GENERIC_LAPTOP kernel from?  Self built or from
somewhere else?

> ne0 at pcmcia0 function 0
> ne0 (manf 00008a01 prod 0000c1ab) cis PCMCIA 10/100 Ethernet Card: can't
match ethernet vendor code

a quick look through the source shows that card should match (entries in
pcmciadevs):
vendor MELCO                    0x8a01  Melco Corporation
product MELCO LPC3_TX           0xc1ab Melco LPC3-TX

and a matching entry in if_ne_pcmcia.c
    { PCMCIA_STR_MELCO_LPC3_TX,
      PCMCIA_VENDOR_MELCO, PCMCIA_PRODUCT_MELCO_LPC3_TX,
      PCMCIA_CIS_MELCO_LPC3_TX,
      0, -1, { 0x00, 0x40, 0x26 }, NE2000DVF_AX88190 },

Can you confirm the above exist in those files?

The error indicates that it failed to complete the probe (it did match it
our I don't think it would have made an attachment at all.)
