I am not sure what your problem is, but cardmgr is not on my system. I believe 
it was a part of pcmcia-cs, which is deprecated in favor of pcmciautils. Also, 
hotplug has been replaced with udev.

You might want to give pcmciautils and udev a try, as they are the "latest and 
greatest". If you do, be sure to purge hotplug and pcmcia-cs. And keep a copy 
of your pcmcia-cs and hotplug debs around in case something goes wrong and you 
can't get a network going under pcmciautils/udev.
