i have a portege 7200 (which was apparently a stupid thing to get,
regardless of how nice the laptop is) with more or less the same
problem.  i've discovered that the best way to get *almost* reliable
pc card support is to insert and remove cards in pairs.

i tried that.  if i do that, pc cards just *don't* work, and card bus
cards sometimes crash the machine.
