You are right, that one doesn't show up in lspci -n. But when I issue the 
lspci -n command it first gives an error message:
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/02/00.0
Unable to read 64 bytes of configuration space.

And indeed there is no /proc/bus/pci/02.

When I insert the card into the computer the following line shows up in /var/
log/messages:
... cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x10b7, device 0x6001
This would mean that pcmcia-cs can recognize the card.

Maybe the Cardbus Controller is not fuly supported by Linux.

The diff is empty.

I borrowed a PCMCIA ethernet card (3CXFE575BT) today and it worked fine.

I tried the 2.6.0-test9 kernel and with lspci -v I get an:

02:00:0 Network controller: 3Com Corporation: Unknown device 6001 (rev 01)

The firmware is uploaded (from dmesg):

eth0: firmware upload & reset successful!

And the link-led is on. It works!
