Never mind; lsmod output is not necessary.

The issue is that the test for PCMCIA support is made in the init script before
any attempt to load drivers is made.  Unfortunately, it would not be safe to
change the test for Hoary, since this would cause the modules to be loaded in
situations where they otherwise would not be (and the reason for the test is
that these probes can hang the system).

You should be able to work around this by adding the appropriate module to
/etc/modules.  "yenta_socket" is the most common module, though you may need a
different one.  Check in lsmod and see which module is being loaded when you use
the older pcmcia-cs, and add that to /etc/modules.
