Ken, If you "hot" insert and/or remove the PCMCIA card (after the kernel has finished booting) then you should at minimum get some messages logged (/var/log/messages) that a PCMCIA card is detected. This enables hotplug, etc to do it's thing. Even if you don't have the correct pcmcia configuration files or modules available, then at least some generic ID info should appear. If this isn't even happening then you likely don't have PCMCIA support in the kernel (or dead PCMCIA hardware or interfaces).
