As stated in the doc the pcmcia package is really experimental. The pb
you mention can be easily fixed by editing the file
/var/lib/lrpkg/pcmcia.conf

In /lib/modules/pcmcia/2.4.16

You need to be sure that pcmcia_core , ds and yenta_socket are loaded.
Check your parameter (sorry I do not have my test platform next to me)
