You need to check that you have the pcmcia-cs rpm installed. Do a
rpm -qa | grep pcmcia
to see if it is.
Once you have don this (and had rpm tell you that the pcmcia rpm is
installed) you need to do 2 things...
1) Edit /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia so it looks something like
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
(make sure that PCIC is the appropriate PCMCIA controller chipset).
2) as root, run
ntsysv
and make sure that you turn ON pcmcia at boot up
Once this is done, pcmcia will be started the next time you bbot up. To
start it without rebooting, simply do
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
and things should happen!
