yenta_socket: PCMCIA-Cards are not recognised by kernel

(As a first note: The dmesg output suffers from linebreaks. Please make sure
your MUA doesn't split up the logs.)

Good. The sysfs-errors went away, too.

Uh oh. Which BIOS version do you have?

Well, looks like you are using a docking station. Does it work without the
docking station? What is its name? There seem to be more problems with those,
for example:

Wow, there seem to be quite some issues with this laptop...

To make sure: Do regular PC Cards (non-CardBus) work with/without the docking
station? (I would assume that...)
