Sounds like the laptop is too old to support 32 bit CardBus cards. Provide a full dmesg in future, but what you want to look for is the presence of cbb(4) in your dmesg. You might have some luck aquiring an old prism card off ebay, look for a card without the golden bar on the end, those are 16bit PCMCIA cards which should work fine.
