PCMCIA support depends upon some kernel modules which are provided in a
seperate package to the kernel. When you install a new kernel you also
need to install a version of these modules that matches your new kernel.
You should either install the version of pcmcia-modules corresponding to
your kernel or install the pcmcia-source package and use that to build
the modules. I tend to keep a copy of pcmcia-source installed all the
time on my laptop in case something goes wrong.
