i get that message when i stop the pcmcia service.
so make sure to have the packages pcmcia-cs and kernel-modules-2.4.18bf2.4
(or so) installed.
"/etc/init.d/pcmcia" should load the right kernel module and start
/sbin/cardmgr. if not, you might try to change the variable PCIC in
/etc/default/pcmcia from "i82365" to "yenta_socket".
the pcmcia service should be started in /etc/rc2.d (or whatever your
default runlevel is).

i assume that this is what kde controlcenter gets from "lspci".
this does not mean that the driver for pcmcia is loaded. check "lsmod"
and look for "i82365" or "yenta_socket" to see if it is.
