What kind of pcmcia have you?
I have had the same problem with my pcmcia  (usb 2.0 pcmcia), when I shout 
down the pcmcia service I had a kernel panic. 
I solve this problem modifing the script pcmcia in /etc/init.d/. I have added 
this line in the script:

/sbin/rmmod ehci-hcd

for remove the usb 2.0 module first than shoutdown the other kernel's modules 
in the pcmcia script.
I hope that I help you by my little experience on pcmcia card :-)
 bye.
