If you are using NEWCARD, there is no /devc/card0 and you don't run
pccardd. If you look at /sys/i386/conf/OLDCARD, you will see that it
includes "device card" while NEWCARD does not.

If things are working correctly, compiling the kernel with OLDCARD
should result in /dev/card0 being created so that pccardd can run. I am
pretty sure that OLDCARD is required for ISA->pccard bridges at the
moment, although it should go away down the road.
