pcmcia no cards detected

Hi
I have got a vaio pcg-fx401 with Opensuse 10.1 installed and my pccard
controller does not detect any cards. I haven't been using any of the for
quite a while now but I do remember using them (one is an scsi controller
and the other is a modem) successfully with earlier versions of SuSE (maybe
9.x, 8.x or even 7.x; Definitely worked four and a half years ago, which
version was that then?).
Controller is detected fine but when I query for cards I get:

vaio:~ # pccardctl status
Socket 0:
no card
Socket 1:
no card

And yes, they are both slotted in firmly. Same if I make a pccardctl insert
before.
Anybody have got the same problem (solved)?

i have tosh. a65-xxxxx i had same problem w/suse 10.1 When i tried
ubuntu 6.06 LTS Everything worked. everything=sound, video, win modem,
usb, pcmcia both wired and atheros based wireless card (Had to download
a additonal modules to get wpa to function correctly). Only problem is
configuring bluetooth devices, but that is more of a linux/bluetooth
problem than a ubuntu problem

Form man pccardctl:

COMMANDS
status
Display the current socket status flags. --not yet
implemented

Try pccardctl ident or cardctl ident.

You forced followups to just one of the originally posted groups will
have put many people off. It is not "the done thing". I had to go to
that group, lookup your post, see that is was not answered and come
back here to reply. If the original is on-topic for all posted
groups, then so are the replies. If not, then the original choice of
groups was wrong.

Hi Ben
vaio:~ # pccardctl ident
Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
no product info available
vaio:~ # card
no difference. Believe me I tried all coomands.
cardctl is not found.
At the moment I can only think of two things: what has changed from earlier
distros?:
1. the installation detecting my controller. Might be detecting it wrong.
2. the controller module itself; might be buggy. But then why does noone
else report the same problem...
Follow up deleted. Sorry, thought it was a good idea. Proved wrong (?).
