I finally plugged in the three boards (two senao and a lynksys wmp-11) and I got the following:

I tried at /etc/default/pcmcia the following entries: PCIC_OPTS='irq_mode=0' PCIC_OPTS='irq_mode=1' PCIC_OPTS='irq_mode=1 irq_list=0' PCIC_OPTS='irq_mode=1 irq_list=0 extra_sockets=1' but I get the same output from iwconfig after restarting pcmcia subsystem. So it seems the problem is interurpt related but I don't know how to isolate the problem and solve it. What do you suggest I can do?
