Each pcmcia card has a manufacturer's id (manfid). A few cards with 
different labels thave the same id (and two that I have with the same id 
that I think use different modules but that is unusual).   In order for 
cardmgr to identify your card and assign it  the correct module, it has to 
read its manfid (or function or version) and match that up with the 
correct module for that card.  It could not find your 350 card because you 
did not list its manfid (you listed the manfid for the 340, which uses the 
same module).  Change that one line and it should work.

000a is I think a hexadecimal number, as is 0007.
the a is 3 numbers larger than the 7.  They may also have
made cards with 0008 and 0009.

I have probably made far more mistakes than you have with pcmcia - you may 
as well learn from them too.
