You left out the following message saying that cardmgr is already
running.  This isn't a problem; it is user error.

Because you did not successfully install the pcmcia-cs package.

Ummm... were there any other error messages or other messages from
cardmgr right before this?

I don't know what to make of this, but it seems like a bad thing, and
has nothing to do with PCMCIA.

The standard pcmcia-cs package is written to compile with standard,
unpatched kernel sources.  You are using Red Hat's custom kernel; and
there seems to be some configuration incompatibility with pcmcia-cs.
