You have to make sure you have PCMCIA support compiled into your kernel.
To find out what kind of PCMCIA controller you have, here's an example:
$ /usr/sbin/lspci | grep CardBus
00:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI4510 PC card Cardbus
Controller (rev 02)
00:0c.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1410 PC card Cardbus
Controller (rev 01)
It might not be called CardBus. You might also need to emerge
pcmciautils and/or pcmcia-cs (I needed both to get my PCMCIA wireless
card working). Also, read the relevant portions of:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gentoo_on_laptops
as it goes more indepth on what needs to be compiled into your kernel.
One potential pitfall, even after doing all this, is that your kernel
may not support the filesystem (in most cases from a phone or camera it
will be vfat). Make sure you have vfat support.
Hope that helps. Good luck.
