Hi,
did you install the pcmcia-source package to get your pcmcia running with
the kernel (not all kernels have the pcmcia module included).
Then you have to recompile the pcmcia-module again.
From /usr/share/doc/pcmcia-source/README:
[...]
You need to have a complete linux source tree for your kernel, not just an
up-to-date kernel image, to compile the PCMCIA package. The PCMCIA modules
contain some references to kernel source files.
