/etc/default/pcmcia CPC=yenta_socket is alright ?
I did never recognize that before, but....

Debian uses a System V boot script arrangement with the PCMCIA startup
scripts installed in /etc/default/pcmcia brought up by /etc/init.d/pcmcia.
The init script sources /etc/default/pcmcia which also contains socket and 
cardmgr settings. It also sources var/lib/pcmcia/scheme to initialize 
networks under varying circumstances defined in the /etc/pcmcia/*.opts files.

Perhaps recompiling the pcmcia-cs-source under the new kernel can help ? 
( i think, at least, if modversions are enabled )
