I have a Presario 1610. It's a laptop.
If yours it is a laptop, too, you could get a better answer on debian-laptop.

Did you try to use the pcmcia-source package and compile from that one?
That is what I did, and I had no problem.
pcmcia-source may not be the latest ( and so may lack support for the
newest sockets/cards) but it is in synch with the kernel used by debian
(assuming that you use kernel-source package or the equivalent kernel
tarball).

Sorry, can't help here. My pcmcia works out-of-the-box (once I build the
debian package from pcmcia-source and Install it) and then I never needed to go in depth.
Again, on debian-laptop you may find someone with your same model
(if yours is a laptop,that is)
