Can't get PCMCIA slot to work

I'm running Arch on my laptop, but I can't get it to see any cards in my PCMCIA slot.  When I run cartctl, is says there's a Socket0, but when I do cardctl insert, nothing happens.  Removing and reinserting the card has no effect.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Are you starting the pcmcia daemon?  Check the DAEMONS variable in /etc/rc.conf.

Re: Can't get PCMCIA slot to work

Looking in my log, I see this:

Apr 20 19:26:44 localhost kernel: PCMCIA: socket f7ce6030: *** DANGER *** unable to remove socket power
Apr 20 20:11:22 localhost kernel: PCMCIA: socket f7ce6030: *** DANGER *** unable to remove socket power

Re: Can't get PCMCIA slot to work

What does cardctl ident say when the card is plugged in and when it's not in?

Re: Can't get PCMCIA slot to work

[root@localhost log]# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  no product info available


That's what it says in both cases.

Re: Can't get PCMCIA slot to work

Looks like it's not detecting the card in there... maybe you should try a different pcmcia module (/etc/conf.d/pcmcia)?  Or set different options?  I don't know, I've never had problems like that.
