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).
