Hi Marco,
Lots of info available at http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/

I haven't looked into this recently, but as I recall, delete (Or move 
someplace safe) the pcmcia modules in 
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia and 
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/pcmcia

Get, build and install the pcmcia-cs package.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcmcia-cs/

I can't check at the moment, as parts of sourceforge are down for 
maintenance.
