$ apt-cache search hotplug
fxload - Firmware download to EZ-USB devices
hotplug - Linux Hotplug Scripts
murasaki - another HotPlug Agent
pcmcia-cs - PCMCIA Card Services for Linux.
hotplug-utils - Linux Hotplug utility programs


I believe some of these programs will allow you to do what you want, but YMMV. 
I am not totally sure sice I don't use my laptop's PCMCIA.
