I haven't seen the MRI card before, so the following may be of absolutely no
use at all... BUT

Some of the MRI shipped pcmcia devices are ASIX AX88190 chip based... 

The drivers for these devices are at http://www.asix.com.tw/driver2.htm

Most of the people on the PCMCIA lists seem to cry when AX88190 chipsets
are seen..

So there is a possibility that your pcmcia card is based on this chipset,
in which case the manufacturer's shipped drivers may help.. then again given
the reaction on the pcmcia lists - you may just wish take the known working
route and get a 'real' card ...

The first URL below is the one which reports that MRI are shipping rebadged
AS88190 chipset devices - which is what sent me looking this way..
