"The Linux pcmcia-cs package is officially deprecated. It can only be used with 2.4 and older kernels. Current information on PCMCIA support for recent 2.6 kernels is available here." [prominently displayed at URL]

The current DESCRIPTION in the sys-apps/pcmcia-cs ebuilds makes no mention of this restriction:
DESCRIPTION="PCMCIA tools for Linux"

Whereas the sys-apps/pcmciautils ebuilds do describe their restriction to 2.6.13 and up:
DESCRIPTION="PCMCIA userspace utilities for Linux kernel 2.6.13 and beyond"
