He has a Linux driver based on my stock i82586 code.

I have both point enablers and a user-level socket controller for the
DataBook TCIC/2 available from cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov.

David Hind has a more extensive PCMCIA socket controller and device driver
package available from tsx-11.mit.edu.  His package supports both the TCIC/2
and i82365 and is based on loadable kernel modules.
