Udev does that automatically. Looking at it more closely, I think I was wrong. pcmciautils only contains two tools called "pcmcia-check-broken-cis" and "pcmcia-socket-startup". The former is necessary to enable devices with broken vendor/product id, the latter starts up some pcmcia sockets ... it looks like you can live without those if your hardware is not broken. Details about pcmcia-specific initialization are in /lib/udev/rules.d/60-pcmcia.rules (pcmcia-utils). Guessing a bit further, it might be that you didn't build your PCMCMIA host bridge into your kernel (most of the time it is yenta_socket) and therefore don't see your card.
