a) there is a debian-laptop list b) ensure that you have: pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules-<version> installed
c) insert card, as root type: cardctl status, you should see info about your card. cardctl ident should tell you the type of card you inserted. On most laptops a successful card insertion causes 2 high pitched beeps to occur. If the card is completely unknown, no beeps will happen. If the card is seen but unsupported a low pitched single beep will occur. If the card inserts fine but the pcmcia scripts fail you will get a high followed by a low tone. If you have pcmcia installed, slink's pcmcia may not support your card, the one in potato definately will.
