Kernel failed to allocate space for the NIC's IO space, and
the cardbus driver didn't check the resource allocation function's
return value.

I can't reproduce or debug this.  It's quite common.

Someone needs to stick some printks into drivers/pci/pci.c:pci_read_bases()
and drivers/pci/setup-res.c:pci_assign_bus_resource() and work out
what went wrong.

A more recent kernel gives us a little more info (start address
and size of the address region).  Can you try a later kernel?
Are you up to compiling your own?
