There was a new BIOS update released by Dell on their website just a few weeks ago 
that addressed this issue for many of the PCMCIA cards I use in mine.

Before the update they didn't really work at all.  Sometimes they'd power up but not 
actually "work".  After I installed the BIOS update, I was able to use both my Lucent 
wireless ethernet card and the SCM smartcard
reader.

Good luck!
