Could it be that you haven't compiled PCMCIA support into the kernel? Or no support for your bridge? (like yenta)...
Or if it's compiled, you may have forgotten to load the modules.
EDIT: You see, I'm basically repeating the stuff the error message tells you anyways, because it IS what's most likely wrong. If it's definitely not that, please provide further details about what you've found out and configurations files. |

TBH I know of no "proper" way to do that. But you can try compiling all as modules, then modprobe each and watch whether "dmesg" reports that it found some cardbus matching the driver.
Anyways, yenta is AFAIK by far the most common one; you probably have that one... |
