Well, the card did "start" -- you got all those stats when running
iwconfig.  The ethernet interface wasn't brought up, but that's okay. 
(Did you ever answer if you're using DHCP or static IP configuration?) 
I don't see any evidence of problems based on what you've posted so far.

Adding the lines to /etc/pcmcia/config was supposed to give the kernel
card services the necessary "magic" to recognize the Linksys card and
therefore load the right driver.  I'm not sure that actually worked as I
expected, but you do have *some* driver loaded.  You'll have to actually
test it with a real wireless network to see if the card works with that
driver.
