With a 2.4 kernel pcmcia-cs stoped to work for me too.
I installed the packege hotplug (see below) and everything is fine
now.
I have a xircom Cardbus card (ethernet only - no combo with modem)
on a Acer Extensa 711TE with debian unstable (used testing before)
what I did :
- compiled a custom kernel with xircom cardbus support (2.4.3 /2.4.5)
- purged pcmcia-cs
- installed hotplug
hope that helped
