This is exactly the intended behaviour -- cardmgr shouldn't be needed on
these "newer" kernels, as long as pcmciautils is up and running fine (which
I suspect in your case). With the original init.d/pcmcia init script, what
happens if you issue "pcmcia-startup-socket"? Can you post a complete dmesg
of such a test-run, please?
