ok , your pcmcia is all right , the problem is that it don't know what module to alias with that NIC .
How the card is identified you can check after plugging card with command :
#cardctl ident
I think SMC2635W is a Prism2 based , so the best will be to use wlan-ng drivers :

I think pre21 realize will be good for you . The README file is good enough to help you install and load prism2-cs module .

In fact is a ADMtek 8211, I download the driver source and compile em, then I get a 8211.o file, however i cant execute "insmod 8211.o" neither "insmod -f 8211.o" because I get an error message than can't load the module because is not GNU licenced.
When I plug in the card and give "lspci -v" the out put tell me that there is an unknown ethernet device. +
Well , you're right , it's a 8211 based .
But what drivers did you install ? The official one ? Did you try that :
