Which specific laptop? AFAICT, the C510 has a Celeron processor, while
the C610 has a Pentium III.

Some details concerning the problem PCMCIA device (e.g. brand, model and
revision/version if known) would be useful. Is this a 16-bit or 32-bit
(CardBus) device?

For your information, lspci does not display details of 16-bit PCMCIA
devices. Is the yenta_socket module loaded? (lsmod | grep yenta). Use
the modprobe command to insert it if not listed.
Have you tried both PC Card slots? Are other PCMCIA devices, if
available, detected and operable on your system?

The output returned for the 'uname -r' command would be useful.
