pcmcia-cs ?

Description: PCMCIA Card Services for Linux
 This package provides the PCMCIA card manager daemon that can respond
 to card insertion and removal events, loading and unloading drivers
 on demand. PCMCIA cards are commonly used in laptops to provide
 expanded capabilities such as network connections, modems, increased
 memory, etc.
 .
 To use PCMCIA you need to have kernel modules available to support
 it. These are included in the stock Debian 2.6 kernel
 packages. However, if you have a 2.4 kernel, you need to have a
 kernel-pcmcia-modules- package installed as well. There are
 also pcmcia-modules- packages which include the stand-alone
 kernel modules supplied by pcmcia-cs, but their use is deprecated.
 .
 It is strongly recommended that you have the hotplug package
 installed in conjuction with pcmcia-cs. hotplug is the standard way
 to configure PCMCIA network interfaces, and is required to be able to
 use Cardbus (32-bit) cards. Furthermore, the wireless-tools package
 is required by many wireless network adapters.
