If you're seeing those same numbers no matter whether there is a card in
the socket or not, then your PCMCIA hardware is broken, and no amount of
fiddling in software will fix it.

bits 1 and 2 of that register indicate the status of two signals per
socket which indicate whether a card is present.  '1' means card not
present, '0' means card present.  For a card to be detected, both
need to be zero.

If you see no change in state of these numbers whether you boot
with a card present or not present, then your PCMCIA hardware is
not detecting card presence at all, and therefore will not work.

Has the laptop been dropped?  Has any PCMCIA card been forced into
the sockets?  Any spillage of any liquid into the laptop?  Any other
mistreatment?
