Marco,
No setup for PCMCIA is currently done during install. The tools are there, 
setting them up is left as an exercise for the user. :)

What are the contents, if any, of /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia?
On a default install, it's probably empty, or similar to:
PCMCIA=no
PCIC=
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=

You may want to just grab the file from your 7.2 machine.

My Toshiba works with:
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=do_scan=0
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=-f

Hope that helps,
