Another thing to check is the mode the PCMCIA is using. On my Toshiba laptop, there was a setting for Cardbus or PCIC-Compatible in the BIOS settings. If it's not a Cardbus card, turn off the Cardbus support and that might help. Once I set my PCMCIA stuff in the BIOS to PCIC-Compatibile, everything came up roses for PCMCIA on my Toshiba Portege' 3015CT.
