So what happens if you start pcmcia without the card, then stick the card in,
and run "cardctl insert" (as root)?

I had to disable CardBus support in my BIOS. It wasn't a software thing. I
don't remember what happened before I disabled it. I think that the PCMCIA
modules just didn't recognize the controller and failed to initialize the card.
If your BIOS has a setting for that, you can try changing it. It shouldn't be
harmful, and if it still doesn't work, you can always change it back.
