Where are you getting the name "level one"?  Level One makes
transceivers, but the chip on the Linksys card is from ADMtek.

What does the driver report about detecting the card?

The diagnostic program is independent of the driver you are using.  You
should read the kernel message logs to see where the resource assignment
problem is.  There is usually a work-around that you can configure in
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts.
