However your distro handles it, you will need to make sure you have the pcmcia modules for the kernel you're running. If it ran/runs with another kernel this is likely the problem. Some distros (like Debian) distribute pcmcia modules separately for stock kernels, other distros may not distribute them at all. In the latter case, or if you are running a custom kernel, you'll have to build them yourself. I don't know how RH9 does pcmcia so that's as much help as I can be.
