Well, the first thing you do is not to ignore past correspondence. If
somebody has already answered a prior question on the topic, refer to
it, quote relevant parts of it. This isn't just being polite, people
are more likely to follow up on a question which has already been
discussed on the list.

So, why did you reboot?
Things to check:
1. Is pccardd running? Try:
$ ps aux | grep pccardd
2. If pccardd is running, look at the output of dmesg:
$ dmesg | less
You should see some messages at the end of the dmesg which relate
to the insertion of the card. Don't retype these messages, save
them to a file:
$ dmesg > /var/tmp/infofile
Then copy them into your message.
3. If you don't see anything useful in the dmesg output, look in
/var/log/messages. Again, copy anything relevant.
4. If you don't see anything at all in (2) or (3), try the output of
$ pccardc dumpcis
