Ya know, Dan, this is the same problem I have on my PB. It's a pain. I've
figured it out and I have even slightly automated it. Here's my
"pcmcia_start" script:

#!/bin/sh
modprobe pcmcia_core
modprobe yenta_socket
modprobe ds
exec service pcmcia start

Every time I ran "service pcmcia start" by itself, I get an error that
pcmcia_core can't be found. But if I run "modprobe pcmcia_core" on the
command line, it works fine! I just put all these in the script and things
seem to work. That is, I can get pcmcia to work okay. I'm still having
trouble getting orinoco to load. [It's not working for me now because I'm
getting an "unable to map card memory!" error from cs. This is a totally
different problem, I believe.]

See if loading the modules by hands before you start pcmcia has any benefit.
