Try
/etc/init.d/pcmcia start
Here's what I get:
Starting PCMCIA services: modulesinsmod: a module named pcmcia_core already
exists
insmod:/lib/modules/2.2.17/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o: No such file or directory
ds: no socket drivers loaded!
/lib/modules/2.2.17/pcmicia/ds.o: init_modules: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
cardmgr.
