Hi I have used pcmciautils, with old laptops that required a resource database too. A resource database is simply a list of memory areas your card cannot use. It comes with pcmciautils. IIRC you need to edit the Makefile to have STARTUP=yes and UDEV=yes, can't remember if those were the defaults. It depends on sysfsutils, so install that first.
