I'm using redhat on a Dell Inspirion 7000.  I've got both a 33.6k PCMCIA
modem, and a 3com 10/100 Vortex PCMCIA NIC (3CCFE575).

My NIC is using:    IO 0x200 IRQ 9 
My Modem is using:  IO 0x2f8 IRQ 3

They are both handled by the pcmcia services.  Make sure you have the
latest pcmcia services (I've got 3.0.9, you can check by running 
cardctl -V).  Also, have a look at:

Which you can get to off of the Laptops link from the Hardware page
on Linux.org.  Have a look at that page, it lists stuff for countless
laptops.
