I don't understand what's going on here, but having different versions
of things is itself not a problem, and the same card services programs
do indeed work across different kernel versions. I do this all the
time, rebooting between 2.0, 2.3, and 2.2 kernels with the same copy
of cardmgr etc.
There are various things that can cause the PCMCIA modules to fail at
startup time. The PCMCIA-HOWTO has some instructions for how to debug
these sorts of problems.
