2.6.0-test7 my cardbus card works (after a manual modprobe), but cardmgr never notices the insertion

[Mr. Mailing List]

this has been happening to me as well.  i had to place
modprobe yenta-socket under the start section of
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia and restart pcmcia in
/etc/rc.local. 

the auto thing sure would be nice to have again.
