Sorry for being so insistent but I really need help.

I'm now "forgetting" my long experience with linux to try to deal with this 
problem "as a child", that is giving nothing for granted and testing!
So, after having read the many pieces of doc around the net, I started from 
scratch and began to issue the very basic commands related to pccards by 
hand.
To start with I issued:
pccardd
and the answer was the following fatal error: No PC CARDS slots found!
What does it mean "exactly"? Is a matter of driver? of memory?
