I googled for the card name and found indications that the card uses 
Intersil firmware and thus supportable by Hostap.

The problem was reported in year 2003, first in June:
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.drivers.hostap/2003-06/msg00159.html

And then in November:
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.linux-wlan.user/2003-11/msg00039.html

It's quite disappointing that we are fixing this more than 8 years after 
the first report, when the cards in question have become rare and 
obsolete.  But it's still better than nothing.

What is the "pccardctl ident" output on your card?

I think we may want to introduce PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD_PROD_ID3 and match

PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD_PROD_ID3(0x0156, 0x0002, "Version 1.02", xxx)

Maybe some other card would be supported too?  I doubt there are any 
Agere or Symbol cards with "Version 1.02" in the third text ID.
