Post the following information:

Brand and model of the card, it is wireless or 10/100?
Kernel version, 2.6.x or 2.4.x?

Compile all pcmcia kernel options and pcmcia network device drivers as modules where possible.
Add pcmcia to boot runlevel

# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig

<M> Bus options --> PCMCIA/Cardbus support
<M> Cardbus yenta-compatible bridge support

[*] Device Drivers --> Networking support
[*] Device Drivers --> Networking support --> Network device support
[*] Device Drivers --> Networking support --> Network device support --> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
[*] Device Drivers --> Networking support --> Network device support --> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --> "Tulip" family network device support
<M> Device Drivers --> Networking support --> Network device support --> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --> "Tulip" family network device support --> Xircom Cardbus support (new driver)

Once these settings are confirmed:

# make && make modules_install
# mount /boot
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
# umount /boot
# nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
add the following modules:
ds
yenta_socket
# emerge pcmcia-cs
if not done already:
# rc-update add pcmcia boot
# reboot

This should work. Make sure you emerge hotplug, and have pnp and pcmcia in your USE flags before emerging pcmcia-cs. The module that should load when you insert your network card is xircom_cb. Some kernel versions *may* call this module tulip_cb, so be on the lookout for that if your kernel version is a bit different than mine (I use love-sources 2.6.8-rc2-love3). For more information on your card, check out Linksys's handy-dandy Linux support page I googled:

Good luck
