for PCMCIA cards I found that the only way to make them work was to load the linux drivers, then unload them. Specifically parport_cs
(so do something like: modprobe parport_cs, check /proc/ioports for your card, rmmod parport_cs (and dependencies if needed.. been a while, can't remember exactly if there were any)).
