PCMCIA support on Linux is based on the Linux PCMCIA card services package written by Mr. David Hinds and not related to the distribution.
To see what PCMCIA cards are supported by Linux PCMCIA card services one must read the support files for PCMCIA card services:
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/howto/PCMCIA-HOWTO
Sometimes folks write experimental or beta PCMCIA modules that are not mature enought to be used in Mr. Hind's regular distro, so if your driver/card is not listed in the above URL, try searching:
www.google.com
For the name of your card and keywords Linux and PCMCIA.
That is how I found an odd card services module when my wireless lan card was still in beta and not in the regular PCMCIA distro. Now, it is part of the standard Card Services distro.
Odds are that your card is supported now and can be found in the how-to url above.

uint32_t manf; /* PCMCIA assigned manufacturer code */
uint32_t card; /* manufacturer information
(part number and/or revision) */
RETURN VALUES
CS_SUCCESS Successful operation.
