Kinda like having your car stall out and pointing at the other cars driving past you and saying, "there's an engine in the front of their cars, why isn't my car working?" I saw some sign that cardbus support was getting cranky many many years ago. If the particular cardbus hw (or how it is connected to the rest of your computer) isn't well supported, devices plugged into it won't work. Plus, being exposed to the outside world, your cardbus hw is far more prone to failure than many other parts of your computer. However, since your machine broke recently and with an upgrade, I'd suggest getting a dmesg, saving it to disk, reloading 6.1, getting that dmesg and showing them both to us and see what can be done.
