If I remember right, the last time I messed around with pcmcia cards I
had to recompile my kernel and make sure all of the pcmcia stuff I
wanted was enabled.  It sounds like you may already be headed down
that path though since you get a response back from the pcic_probe.
Perhaps try a live boot cd from a couple of distros and see if there
hardware detection comes up with anything when you have the card
plugged in.  Then you can usually see what module they enabled in
dmesg and just compile that one into your new kernel.
